Following Governor Ige’s COVID-19 emergency proclamation announcement on Thursday, August 5, 2021, labor unions from The Hawaiʻi State Teachers Association (HSTA), Hawaiʻi Government Employees Association (HGEA), University of Hawaiʻi Professional Assembly (UHPA), and the United Public Workers (UPW) held a joint virtual news conference to address the proclamation which says that state and county employees must provide their COVID-19 vaccination status and that those employees who don’t show proof of vaccination must take weekly COVID tests.

State Supreme Court has already dismissed challenges to Ige's emergency proclamation on the grounds that Ige is the Governor and therefore all Ige's emergency orders are lawful orders.

It will be a Big Problem if we get a different answer when the almighty unions raise this same issue.
