Please be sure to respond to this survey. Neither the email
below (from AAA) nor the survey provide much detail.
Folks should be aware that there is currently a boycott led
by UNITE HERE Local 2. The boycott began in November and has
recently escalated. There is a good potential for the boycott
and/or other labor actions to continue. Both the hotel chains
and UNITE HERE are dug in due to the importance of the San
Francisco market as a union stronghold with good political
support. This suggest the potential to disrupt the 2006 AAA
meeting.
Please take the time to respond to the survey link below.
AND: Don't forget to vote on the AAA ballot, which is due May
15th.

AAA is scheduled to hold its 2006 Annual Meeting from
November 27 to December 1 at the Hilton Hotel in San
Francisco, CA. Presently, hotel employees are working under
terms of an expired labor contract. Organized labor and
hotel management have not been able to come to agreement on a
new labor contract, and the union of hotel employees is
urging a boycott of all meetings in this and 13 other hotel
properties in San Francisco.
If hotel employees and management cannot come to an agreement
on a new labor contract, the AAA Executive Board will
consider rescheduling and/or relocating the meeting. This
decision will be made well in advance of the meeting, before
members have purchased airline tickets or made hotel
reservations. In preparation for that decision, the AAA
Board is seeking your views about how a potential
labor/management dispute at the hotel would affect your
attendance at the meeting.
This survey has just 4 questions, and should take no more
than a minute to complete. Your answers will be held in the
strictest confidence. No individual responses will be
reported. Only summary responses of the membership as a whole
will be reported. Your participation will provide the AAA
Executive Board will much needed information. To complete
