Your definitive guide to Beyoncé's show at SoFi
Striking hotel workers hold signs while working the picket lines outside of the InterContinental Hotel in Downtown L.A. on July 2, 2023.The American Political Science Association, or APSA, is holding its annual meeting in Los Angeles this weekend, despite calls from striking hotel workers for conferences to stay away from the city. About 6,000 people were expected to attend.
APSA did not respond to requests for comment. The group said in a July 28 statement that the time frame was too short to relocate the meeting outside of Los Angeles. They said they'd stand to lose at least $2.8 million in cancellation costs. "Political science members of APSA are now voting with their feet," said Peter Dreier, a political science professor at Occidental College, who isn't attending the meeting."I wouldn't be surprised if less than 3,000 people actually show up. I think there's going to be a significant decline."The escalating hotel strikes are spurring heated debate among the thousands of scholars, ranging from graduate students to professors who typically attend the APSA meeting.
"We continue to stand in solidarity with the heavily Latina and immigrant hotel workers of Los Angeles and Southern California," leaders of the Latino Caucus said in a statement."We believe this moment calls for a collective response in solidarity with the Union and hotel workers." Lust had originally booked a room at the JW Marriott. She canceled her reservation last month and opted for an Airbnb instead.Lust also helped move her comparative politics group's meeting online to accommodate those who've chosen not to travel to Los Angeles. And she moved their reception from the JW Marriott to a restaurant.
