>>I have been informed that the Hotel and Restaurant Employees
>>Association will be boycotting the San Francisco Mariott during the
>>American Library Association convention June 14-20.
>>
>>I think it is urgent to get the word out immediately to the
>>membership so that they will be aware of a boycott that has been
>>ongoing since last September.  I realize this is too late to change
>>their reservations or room assignments for meetings, but I think the
>>members should be made aware that they will be crossing a picket line
>>if they attend meetings at the Mariott.
>>
>>We would like members to think twice before attending meetings being
>>held at the Marriott. There will be picket lines in front of the
>>Mariott hotel during the convention.
>>
>>The American Indian Culture night cancelled its event recently
>>because it was to be held in the Marriott.
>>
>>The Scholarship bash (ALA's event) has been moved out of the Marriott
>>to the Hilton due to the labor dispute.
>>
>>PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO YOUR COLLEAGUES WHO WILL BE ATTENDING ALA.
