Feds start
new labor
campaign
By Michelle Mittelstadt
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Concerned
about on-the-job conditions for
the nation’s 1.6 million farm
workers, the Labor Department is
starting an education campaign
that stresses basic workplace
rights and safety for children in
the fields.
Labor’s “Fair Harvest-Safe Har
vest” campaign is designed to put
basic workplace information in
the hands of a population that is
low-paid, typically uneducated,
highly itinerant and often operat
ing in difficult work environ
ments.
“The fact is, too many farm
workers don’t know that they
have a right to a fair and safe
workplace today. And what they
don’t know could hurt them,” La
bor Secretary Alexis Herman said
at a news conference, calling the
workers “some of our most vul
nerable.”
Through the $100,000 cam
paign, the department is calling
on growers, community groups
and others to distribute wallet
sized cards in English and Span
ish outlining farm workers’ rights.
The cards say: “You have the
right to: written information about
your wages and working condi
tions in a language you under
stand; to be paid the wages you
were promised, but never less
than the federal minimum wage
of $5.15 per hour; ... safe and
healthy housing and transporta
tion, if the employer provides
them; safe drinking water, toilets
and handwashing facilities at the
job — and at no cost to you...”
Hawaiians celebrate,
denounce annexation
By Bruce Dunford
The Associated Press
HONOLULU — The sounds of
conch shells, whistles and cheers
erupted from about 5,000 Hawai
ians on Wednesday as the Hawai
ian flag was raised over Iolani
Palace to denounce 100 years of
U.S. control over these tropical is
lands.
When the oversized ensign
reached the top of the staff, the
Royal Hawaiian Band struck up
“Hawai‘i Pono’i,” the anthem
written by an imprisoned Queen
Lili'uokalani after her 1893 over
throw.
Wednesday’s ceremonies of
chants, hula and speeches on the
palace grounds marked the 100th
anniversary of America’s annexa
tion of the Hawaiian Islands, an
act that many Hawaiian leaders
now denounce as illegal.
“It seems that everyone is smil
ing, especially now that the flag is
raised,” said Mililani Trask, a
leader of Ka Lahui, one of the larg
er groups seeking sovereignty for
native Hawaiians.
“I think it marks a new begin
ning and I think everyone is very
eager to come together and talk
about consensus building” to
ward a form of sovereignty that
would establish a political rela
tionship between the Hawaiian
people and the U.S. government,
she said.
The sovereignty movement
gained momentum five years ago
during the 100th anniversary of
Lili’uokalani’s overthrow by an
American-dominated group of
white businessmen.
But it has stalled recently due
to factional disputes over how to
proceed and what form sovereign
ty would take.
Wednesday’s commemoration
at the palace, the home of
Hawaii’s last monarchs, began af
ter a procession of several hun
dred somber marchers arrived
from Mauna’ala, the Royal Mau
soleum in Nuuanu Valley, a little
more than a mile away.
The marchers were led by near
naked heralds blowing conch
shells and warriors bearing long
wooden spears. Many marchers
were dressed in traditional
Hawaiian attire.
The marchers carried an 11
foot, red-and-yellow feather sash
which belonged to Liloa, a 15th
century ali’i, or chief. It has been
passed down through the Kame
hameha and Kalakaua dynasties
before Queen Lili'uokalani pre
sented the sacred relic to the Bish
op Museum for safekeeping.
Hawaiian leaders contend the
annexation of Hawaii was illegal
because it was achieved through
a joint resolution of Congress —
which requires a majority — in
stead of a treaty, which requires a
two-thirds Senate majority.
On Tuesday, sovereignty
groups released copies of a Unit
ed Nations report prepared by
Miguel Alfonso Martinez of Cuba,
the special chairman of the Work
ing Group on Indigenous Popula
tions.
