Had never ever something like this before.
Is my understanding right? Since they charging the fee, I don't see a need for an additional tip.
This is a union property, and the union is demanding this fee, which goes to the employee, not the hotel.
Whilst the employees would gladly take an additional tip (and probably expect it), there is no need for an additional tip. I would just pay the fee they are charging if you encounter this situation and not bother with another tip.
