Hmmm. Ah, Chicago. Yes.That has been true everywhere that Worldcon has been for a number of years, excluding Japan. Hotel union contracts generally forbid activity being done by any non-union people, even if they are the guests.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law ''A "right-to-work" law is a statute that prohibits union security agreements, or agreements between labor unions and employers that govern the extent to which an established union can require employees' membership [...] as a condition of employment. Right-to-work laws exist in twenty-three U.S. states,''
'Right to work', as defined by section 14 B of the Taft-Hartley Act, only prevents a union contract that requiures union membership as a PRE-REQUISITE for being hired. What is called 'closed shop' -- where employment is closed to those who are not union members. It does -not- prevent a 'union ship' -- where employees are required to join the union within a reasonable period =after= being hired. Right-to-work also does not prevent an organization from requiring, by contractual agreement, that third parties performing work ON THE 0ORGANIZATION'S PREMISES, employ "union labor" for _that_ work. It cannot specify _what_ union (or local) however. bTW, I'm a card-carrying member, and official, of the (independant) "Amalgamated Tinkerers and Gadgeteers", anyone interested in setting up their own local is invited to contact me. *GRIN*
