Skip Malama Market this evening if you need groceries. Workers are protesting out front, demanding contracts for the meat and seafood workers to receive the same pay as their contemporaries 10 miles away at Foodland in Kea’au. Workers at the Pahoa store receive 40% less pay than those in Kea’au. Shop elsewhere and support a fair living wage for all of our neighbors! Please share and support!
