I believe the American Political Science Association has a clause of this type in its hotel contracts and, on that basis, moved the annual meetings from San Francisco (with a threatened Food and Commercial Workers Union strike) to Philadelphia in 2006. It is also my understanding that the American Anthropological Association moved meetings from San Francisco, under a hotel strike threat and, in the absence of protective contract clauses, lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the ensuing legal disputes. Professional associations do, of course, arrange contracts years in advance, which is why such protective clauses are a good idea.
