If memory serves, leadership 'arranged' for brief debate before sending
resolution on above to public policy committee.  I understood agreement 
that leadership made with farmworker, garment, hotel, janitorial, and
restaurant delegates supporting resolution to include 'town hall' 
meetings in Atlanta, Chicago, LA & NYC before year's end, after which a 
report is to be filed with executive council for possible January vote.  
Any listers have updates - have/are meetings been/being held?  No
movement on this matter relegates it to functional equivalent of
'non-decision' (refusal to place certain questions on decision-making
agenda).
