Oahu Sugar Strike of 1920
The Oahu Sugar Strike of 1920 was a multiracial strike in Hawaii of two unions, the Filipino American Filipino Labor Union and the Japanese American Federation of Japanese Labor. Involving 8,300 workers, with 150 people losing their lives, it was one of the deadliest peaceful demonstrations in 20th-century Hawaii.
==Background==
Before the 1920 strike, when one ethnic group went on strike the other groups worked as strikebreakers, leading to a strike’s failure. Before the strike fieldworkers were paid wages that met the poverty line. With the start of World War I, supplies directed to the war effort drove up living expenses and wages remained the same, putting much of the plantation work force into destitution, which lingered after the war ended. After years of organizing, the Filipino Labor Union and the Federation of Japanese Labor united the Filipino and Japanese groups. The unions brought their demands to the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association on December 4, 1919. The demands were pay raises from $0.77 to a $1.25 for males and $0.58 to $0.90 per day and paid maternal leave for females. Initially the planters refused demands and expected to outlast the strike.
