Hawaii workers rally for in-person unemployment help

Misty Pegram, one of 15 protesters, took her turn at the megaphone Thursday at the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations building on Punchbowl Street to protest the nonpayment of unemployment benefits and lack of support from the state agency.

Frustrated with not being able to get questions answered by unemployment officials over the phone, protesters held a sign-waving rally Thursday in front of the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations headquarters.
