Ongoing Labor Issues at the AAA

Robert O’Brien has posted the first update to the AAA-UNITE web site since July. In it he addresses several labor-related issues affecting the AAA. These include, banning Coke from being served at AAA events, supporting the rights of graduate employees, and protesting the decision to use Gannett presses to print Anthropology News. He urges discussion either in the comments to his post, or on the AAA-UNITE e-mail list. Please read the whole thing for more details.
