Thank you @aaronsojourner.org, @shirkandsteal.bsky.social, and @jennifercohen.bsky.social for putting together this information.

I changed my reservation and shared the info with my colleagues who are not on BlueSky.

Thank you for the extensive information on both my options as an attendee but also on the background of the strikes. It really helps!

Great to hear!

Thank you so much for putting this together! I just switched to a unionized hotel

No need to decide on cancellation now.

Today, ASSA extended the refund deadline from tomorrow to Dec 13.

More good news coming soon.

Good advice. With hotel refunds possible until December 13th, waiting makes sense. Especially for those of us with flight tickets already booked.

aaronsojourner.org•85 days ago

Yeah, tho if you are interested in staying in a no-risk-of-strike picketing hotel, you may consider changing your hotel booking ASAP while there's availability.

Thanks!

Blog updated.

Lots of useful developments from ASSA that, for @shirkandsteal.bsky.social @jennifercohen.bsky.social & I, show a path to meaningful participation in #ASSA2025
even if there are picket lines.

I thank @lkatz42.bsky.social & team for leading to practical solutions.

Also I want to thank @dynarski.bsky.social @jrothst.bsky.social. Michael Reich, & David Weil for their counsel & support in moving this issue forward.

Thanks for your joint work on this!! I was able to book another (free cancellation) reservation at another nearby hotel and made a ton of reminders to cancel one of them next week.

Thanks, this was really useful in helping me find accommodations elsewhere.
