The trick is that there is no "right to work" if you are a guest at the hotel. You have no right to work on their property without their consent. In reality, the hotels do not want union headaches so that is the way it goes. Right to work only is in effect if an employer hires me and I do not want to join the union.

The camera ops had to be union? Hmmm. Ah, Chicago. Yes.
That has been true everywhere that Worldcon has been for a number of years, excluding Japan. Hotel union contracts generally forbid activity being done by any non-union people, even if they are the guests.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law ''A "right-to-work" law is a statute that prohibits union security agreements, or agreements between labor unions and employers that govern the extent to which an established union can require employees' membership [...] as a condition of employment. Right-to-work laws exist in twenty-three U.S. states,'' Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
