The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 142 and Starwood Hotels & Resorts have reached an agreement on contract renegotiations for employees at Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, the hotel said today.

The five-year contract affects approximately 150 union employees. The contract covers food and beverage, engineering, housekeeping, bell staff, and culinary departments.
�We are delighted to have successfully reached an agreement that rewards our employees for their hard work yet remains cognizant of the difficult economic situation our industry is faced with,� Sheraton Keauhou Bay general manager Tetsuji Yamazaki said in a statement.
Starwood has managed the 521-room resort, formally the Kona Surf, since it reopened in late 2004 following renovation.
