Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 381-2

  • Lockout: means the refusal of a public utility to furnish work to employees as a result of a labor dispute. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 381-1
  • Public utility: has the meaning given that term in § 269-1, excluding, however, the State or any county or any commission or board of the State or of any county, and any person subject to the Federal Railway Labor Act, as amended from time to time. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 381-1
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
  • Strike: means the temporary stoppage of work, slowdown, or retarding of production or operations by the concerted action of two or more employees as a result of a labor dispute. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 381-1

In order to avoid any interruption of public utility service to users, consumers, or the public, any public utility and its employees and their respective representatives shall use the processes of conference and collective bargaining in the settlement of all disputes between the public utility and the employees thereof, without resort to lockout or strike.
