Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: THE TERRIBLE UNION DILEMMA

[Richard L. Kohlhaas (rlkohl]

Good ideas.  One could also make a point by announcing that they are NOT using 
the 
in-room Wifi ($10 per day!),  and could generously tip the room attendants 
(each 
day, since shift changes can mean that one person may not be assigned to a room 
for 
the duration of your stay.)
