County Clerk County of Hawaii 25 Aupuni Street - . Hilo, Hawaii 96720 • Dear Mr. Legaspi: - We are responding, as per your request, to your inquiry in writing. • The question you had posed was, in the event of a Unit 1 strike, would the Union permit the County to proceed with the charter •amend- ' ment election as presently scheduled for November 3, 1979. After a very thorough discussion of this matter in Honolulu, it was • the unanimous decision of our State Strike Strategy Committee that we cannot permit nor agree to any election being held for the following reasons: . 1. Public buildings where our Unit 1 employees are working are utilized as precincts. 2. Many of our Unit 1 employees are. precinct workers and, if an election is held, it would require their -presence at a worksite • which is normally picketed. 3. Where schools or other public buildings are being utilized as precincts, our custodians would be required• to stand-by to clean and• close the buildings. 4. We would like to avoid any confrontation with the voting public. In order to guarantee the publics health and safety, no • . election should be held during the strike period. We would suggest and strongly recommend, due to the reasons given above, that the charter amendment election be postponed indefinitely. Your cooperation of our request will be appreciated.
