Mayor John Whitmire has postponed the State of the City address;
“Out of respect for the ongoing contract negotiations between Hilton and Unite Here, I will postpone the September 25 State of the City address indefinitely.
I urge both parties to negotiate in good faith and reach a fair, reasonable agreement. Workers are essential to our city, and I will always insist that they be treated with dignity and respect.”
