We don’t know yet where the IEA RA, the state convention, will be held come March. The state leadership finally did the right thing in supporting Unite Here’s hotel union members in their long dispute with the major Chicago hotels. We pulled our convention from the Hyatt Regency O’Hare.
As as aside, the NEA is facing a similar challenge. It has scheduled their national meeting for Chicago in July. Finding hotel space for 10,000 delegates and 5,000 more people working the convention while supporting the hotel boycott will be tough. It will also be a major financial hit
