Update on Labor Dispute

On Tuesday, an update was posted on the SAA website concerning the Chicago hotel labor dispute. An agreement was reached on March 4th and a final settlement is expected soon. SAA also reiterated its desire avoid such a problem in the future as well as their reasons for continuing to hold the annual meeting as planned. Interestingly they noted that a certain number of members must actually stay at the Hyatt Regency in order for the meeting space to be provided free of charge.
