San Francisco Hotel Operators Refuse To End Labor Lockout |SFGate
The operators of 14 hotels at the center of a protracted labor dispute ignored an ultimatum from San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and refused to end their lockout of unionized employees. "We respectfully decline the mayor's request for a 90-day cooling-off period," Cornell Fowler, a spokesman for the hotel operators, said Tuesday after they delivered their message to Newsom.
