My opinion of the handling of this situation is going downhill FAST. Here is the latest update (via e-mail from AAA Office):

San Francisco Mayor Newsom has asked for a 90-day cooling off period between UNITE/HERE Local 2 and the multi-employer group of 14 hotels (including the San Francisco Hilton). A written response from both sides has been requested by the mayor by 4 pm PST Tuesday, October 26th.

Reportedly, UNITE/HERE LOCAL 2 has agreed to the 90-day cooling off period.

Please hold off on doing anything until you receive further communications from the AAA. Specifically, “holding off” means — DO NOT CANCEL EXISTING AIRLINE AND HOTEL RESERVATIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO, OR MAKE NEW AIRLINE RESERVATIONS TO ATLANTA.
