That was not the argument being made by the union so just grasp onto a reason to fit within the fixed narrative in your head was convenient and not all that useful. MAGC can be a problem for workers when people leave food waste in the rooms for several days with no cleaning done. The work load is also increased when extra messy people damage things in the room and nobody knows about it for several days as there was no cleaning staff authorized entry. With high levels of occupancy and people waiting to check in, you don't want to have to take a room out of service or have to call in extra staff at the last minute to get rooms back into inventory without a very long wait for the next guest that is waiting at check in.

I am sure there is a happy medium which can be worked out and that is what the union and management at the various hotels should be talking about to resolve.
