Sally Haslanger has put together a very useful site with information about the union boycott at the St Francis (site of the Pacific APA).

“Haslanger’s ‘Stand for Justice’ site”:http://www.mit.edu/~shaslang/other/PAPAlabor.html

Through it I saw a link to the APA’s site about the various locations that people are moving papers to around SF.

bq. “Alternative Pacific Meeting”:http://www.apa.udel.edu/apa/governance/alternativepacificmeeting.asp
“Meetings at Drake”:http://www.apa.udel.edu/apa/governance/drakesite.asp
“Meetings at Maxwell”:http://www.apa.udel.edu/apa/governance/maxwellsite.asp

These sites may be updated frequently, check back for more info. Note that the Drake and Maxwell hotels are short walks away from the St Francis, and sessions moved there are being held at the same time as they were originally scheduled. This goes a long way towards addressing the logistical concerns I raised earlier. There’s still a worry about getting the news out, and three cheers for the APA for using its website to promote what could have been construed as rival sessions.

By the way, these alternative meeting places cost money, so if you’re going to those sessions – or even if you’re not but support what they are doing – I suspect chipping in some money would be appreciated. I don’t know who has made the payments right now, but in case there’s a hat being passed around in San Francisco it would be good to help out if you support these moves.
