More on the Jurys Out

I noted earlier that the Brookings Institute is sponsoring an event this week with Barack Obama at Jurys Doyle Hotel in Washington, DC, a hotel that happens to be one of only three in DC on the boycott list of the hotel workers' union, UNITE HERE. Turns out it's not the only event Brookings is holding at the boycotted hotel. On Thursday, they're holding an event on Anti-poverty Policies: Incentives and Work Mandates for Young Men at Jury's. Like previous poverty events held by Brookings, my guess is that you will not hear the word "union" spoken at this one either, even though greater unionization would certainly do more to lift young men out of poverty than "work mandates."
