The OPEIU was chartered in 1945 with more than 125,000 members and is one of the larger unions of the AFL-CIO. They have locals in every state, Puerto Rico and Canada. HNA was given the official local number, "OPEIU Local 50" because Hawaii is the 50th state.

Allen Jr. said OPEIU looks forward to providing resources to support HNA's success.

HNA Executive Director Patt A. Gibbs, Esq., said the Hawai'i Nurses' Association is proud of their long history of autonomy and activism.
