The following statement was issued by Metal Trades Department, AFL-CIO:

It is with great sadness that the Metal Trades Department, AFL-CIO announce that three members of the Hawaii Federal Employees Metal Trades Council (HFEMTC) were victims of [Wednesday’s] shooting at the Pearl Harbor Joint Naval Base.

 Our thoughts and prayers for strength and aloha are with the families and friends of the victims, said Metal Trades Department President James Hart. Our Hawaii Metal Trades Council is a tight knit community. The repercussions of this senseless tragedy will surely be felt for a long time to come. May God bless the victims and their families and provide comfort to our union brothers and sisters at this difficult time.
