As the exclusive representative to nearly 4,000 University of Hawaii faculty members statewide, the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly (UHPA) takes its role in promoting fair collective bargaining processes seriously. We are also keenly aware that what occurs with other public sector unions can impact UHPA members and the overall collective bargaining climate in Hawaii. When collective bargaining rights are violated or if there are decisions under consideration by the Hawaii Labor Relations Board (HLRB) that can potentially impact members of all Hawaii public sector unions, UHPA feels it has an obligation to intervene.
