Hey Everyone,
I am a fellow anime freak that lives in Westchester, CA, near the Los Angeles Airport. Something about the PMX caught my attention recently regarding where it is held. The PMX is at the Hilton LAX again this year, and I found out some messed up stuff about that hotel. I first heard about it at my church in Westchester and have since found out a lot more about what is going on at that hotel. For the last few years, the workers there have been fighting the management in order to get respect and fair treatment, , but the hotel managers and their supervisors have responded with threats and intimidations. I read some articles and found a website that talks about what’s going on there (see link below). Basically, the workers at the hotel have called for a boycott, which means they are asking people not to use the hotel at all.
Since I live so close to the hotel, and this kind of thing caught my attention, I looked into it further and went to a picket line at the hotel. I talked to some of the workers and the organizers and they filled me in on a lot of the details of what it’s like to work there.
I think we need to pass this information along to the PMX planners to let them know what’s going on there. I am really concerned about this issue, and I don’t think that PMX should be at that hotel. ALSO, I WILL NOT BE GOING TO PMX AS LONG AS IT IS AT THE HILTON LAX.

Please check out the website about the Hilton LAX Boycott for more info, also I got an organizer’s name from a flyer:
