Is there a more specific description of the specific authority,
wording, and legislative intent for this, please?
It's not an actual law, but the SF Bay Area is fairly heavily unionized
in this sector, so most convention centers and major hotels in the SF
Bay Area have agreements that specify what kinds of activity require
union labor under which circumstances. So you'd need to look at those
agreements rather than at the city code. Normally the venue can provide
more detail about this in their information package for prospective
conference organizers, and it varies venue-to-venue. For venues actually
owned by the city of SF (like Moscone Center), their general agreement
with IATSE over audiovisual services (at least as of 2014) is here:
