Why are union organizers permitted to access guest rooms and hotel corridors and floors reserved for guests? This shouldn't happen, either from the hotel needing to control access to protect their guests or from the viewpoint of what striking union members are permitted to do.
ADDED: if the flyers are literally being distributed to guestrooms, as opposed to being slipped under doors, it's a much bigger problem and I would complain vigorously to management and possibly the police as an unauthorized person somehow managed to access my hotel room. Even if it's an employee of the nonstriking hotel who is at least sympathetic to the union, this is highly inappropriate and hotel management should instantly take action to stop whoever is doing this. IMO this is equivalent to a stalker somehow leaving a letter in my hotel room.
Yet another reason for putting unionized hotels on my do not stay list.
