Årets sf-världskongress får bli virtuell pga corona (får se hur det går!) men
även nästa års världskongress har problem. Från inboxen:
"Employees of the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington D.C., main
venue of the 2021 Worldcon, have been notified of the hotel’s potential
permanent closure. The facility has been shuttered since March due to the
coronavirus outbreak.
Members of Local 25, the union representing hotel workers, told local ABC
affiliate WTOP they were informed of the potential closure during Zoom calls
held with more than 500 Wardman Park employees.
Marriott spokesperson Casey Kennett told a WTOP reporter:
Marriott International has provided advance notice to employees, government
officials and union officials about a potential closure of the Washington
Marriott Wardman Park.
The hotel has been temporarily closed since March. At this time, no decision
has been made about the hotel’s future operation and reopening, as discussions
are ongoing."
Conkommittén meddelar att man följer situationen.
