Regrettably, there are no unionized hotel options. AZ is a "right to work" state, and unions struggle here. Our state Green Party chair is a union official, and our local Green Party held several solidarity events during the recently settled strike of copper miners at ASARCO, so we have a deep commitment to labor. It is partly because the hotels are not union that we have chosen an alternative meeting venue.
