Angela Prigge
In this episode, we talk to Angela Prigge, a hospitality worker in Hawaii who also serves on the executive board of her union, UNITE HERE Local 5. We discuss how Angela witnessed firsthand the major changes to Hawaii’s economy, as the tourist and hospitality industries have come to dominate life on the islands. And we talk about the struggles for workers who can hardly afford to live in Hawaii, which has the highest cost of living in the U.S. (All music sourced from the Free Music archive)
