Really? After the 70+ day lockout they struck again? This is weird. Was it a temporary work stoppage or a 1-day strike or something else?

This looks like another informational picket that happened thursday 6/9/05. If it was a strike, it would surely have been mentioned on the Local 2 website (http://www.unitehere2.org).

San Francisco Hotels Under Boycott

The members of Local 2 have called on visitors to boycott the 14 Multi-Employer Group hotels.
