Requests the University of Hawaii Board of Regents to continue supporting and funding the Industrial Relations Center as a labor-management relations resource for public and private sectors.

Industrial Relations Center was established in 1948 to promote understanding of labor-management interactions, collective bargaining, mediation techniques, and public and private sector policies.

Center has trained more than 1,800 professionals through workshops on collective bargaining and grievance arbitration and published over 150 statutory guides and bulletins on public sector bargaining laws across all 50 states.

Center maintains the most complete collection of arbitration decisions for Hawaii's private and public sector employees and other United States jurisdictions and serves as a neutral resource for legislative studies on labor-management issues.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Chair of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, University of Hawaii President, Chancellor of UH at Manoa, and directors of the Industrial Relations Center and Center for Labor Education and Research.
