Was just responding to Moz's comment. To refer back to my basic message: that the problem-solving approach in cohousing communities is fundamentally different than the tactics used by the union--much closer to the approach of non-violent communication--and that I propose that we respond to the fundamental issues raised by the union (oppressive treatment of hotel employees) in a way which is consistent with cohousing practice.

Rick and/or others: Please clarify. Does this mean that one should honor only existing union contracts and not organizing efforts or what? I don't want to jump to any contusions; I just don't know how to interpret the statement.
