[Linganth] Fwd: Statement from UNITE HERE

[P. Kerim Friedman]

One of the biggest issues in the "long term struggle" is that the AAA
will return to SF in 2006. This is a problem. Much of the current UNITE
struggle is a desire by UNITE to extend their contract for two more
years - AT WHICH TIME the contract will again come up for renewal. The
difference will be, and the reason management is fighting this so
fiercely, that in 2006 the contracts of additional hotel worker's all
over the country will also come up for renewal at the same time. This
means that the management will have to fight unions all over the
country instead of only in SF. By swapping Atlanta this year for SF in
2006 the AAA has essentially put the problem on hold for two years
rather than really solving it.
