I only saw one detail cop keeping a watchful eye. If you will be staying at one of the hotes
impacted be prepared to cross the picket line and be sure to try to get a room that does not face the picket line if you don’t want to listen to this.
There were picketers at the Ritz-Carlton as early as Saturday, as I passed by them on my way back from seeing Hamilton. I don't recall seeing them by the W at that time.
I'm concerned as I've got a stay booked for the W tomorrow night, and consequently am within the penalty period for cancellation.
