Edition Waikiki Employees are Holding Strong During These 'Modern' Times
The fallout from the Edition Waikiki/Modern Honolulu switcheroo continues today with a moving testimony from an actual employee at the hotel. There's no need for any further commentary so let's just get right into it:
I work for Edition. The employees here are more than that, we are a tight knit family. We built that place, we are the face of Edition. We are proud to be part of the Marriott family. We are loyal to Marriott. We said no to the union coming in. It takes quite a bit for employees to trust a company, and turn away union representation. So this situation has really brought us that much closer.
Every day we are meeting up, and talking, waiting to see what is going to happen. This group, Aqua, can't come in and try to ride out what we worked so hard for. We won't just move on, and work our hotel job like nothing happened. WE are Editon. We were trained by the best of the best, and the reviews reflect that.
The rooms aren't the biggest, the beach isn't at your toes, but you will not find more gracious, sophisticated or personalized service anywhere on this island.
We will be back, and we will be ready for business. Don't unpack your bags, Modern, and don't you dare touch that ukulele on the shelf...
In (Mike) Rock we trust, [Ed. Note: Michael Rock is the hotel's GM]
-An hourly employee
