SF Chronicle: Back to the Hotels!

It seems that "[o]ne professional association is weighing whether to move a 5,000-member convention to Atlanta in December unless calm is restored. This gathering is worth an estimated $3 million to local business. San Francisco cannot afford to start losing major conventions."


Chronicle editorial staff say:

All things considered, the hotels should drop this precondition and let the workers return. Doing so won't detract from the bargaining needed to settle a situation that has idled 4,000 workers and is threatening to chase away important business.
