The Hilton Bayfront in San Diego is the lodge closest to Corridor H of the San Diego Conference Middle and is common for company, attendees and occasions by the San Diego Comedian-Con which started as we speak. Nicely, it seems that the workers of the Hilton Bayfront has gone on strike simply as San Diego Comedian-Con begins, and the lodge itself is, aptly, coated with an advert for American Horror Story.
Native media reported that talks stalled yesterday when negotiators for either side have been unable to succeed in an settlement on pay, parking and different work-related points.
