CINDY ELLEN RUSSELL / CRUSSELL@STARADVERTISER.COM

Local 5 union workers picketed at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach on Thursday in retaliation for the non-union hotel supplying employees who were willing to work as strikebreakers at the striking hotels. Some 2,700 unionized hotel workers went on strike on Oct. 8 when negotiations between Unite Here Local 5 and Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts, which owns the Marriott-managed Sheraton Waikiki, The Royal Hawaiian, Westin Moana Surfrider, Sheraton Princess Kaiulani and Sheraton Maui, reached an impasse.
