[URBANTH-L]Breaking News--AAA Annual Meeting 2004 (fwd)

[David L. R. Houston]

If I understand it correctly, this cooling off "unlocks" the lockout, 
meaning that the originally hired workers - the ones locked out of their 
jobs - will be back on the job.  What it does NOT do of course is to give 
them what they were asking for!  But I do believe it means there is no 
picket line.

If it happens, it seems to me this is a most excellent chance to make some 
serious statements as an organization, both to our elected board and to 
the Hilton.

. But doesn't this just take us back to where we were when all hell broke lose? that our esteemed associated president had expressed that she hoped there would be a cooling off period during AAA so that we could have our meetings and not cross picket lines? So how does this cooling off  period proposal change the fact that experienced workers have been locked out of their jobs?
