Unionized professional athletes crossing hotel picket lines across the country.

Nia Winston is a huge NBA fan. She is a season-ticket holder for the Detroit Pistons. She’s excited for the season to start.

But she’s also president of a Midwestern hospitality workers union that is on strike against Marriott. And she is beyond upset at some NBA players.

The Brooklyn Nets walked past the Local 24 picket line on their way into the Westin Book Cadillac in Detroit on Sunday, and back out to their team bus on Monday, when they had a preseason game. That is a no-no in the labor world.

“I’m extremely disappointed,” Winston said by phone Monday. “They’re in a players association. They’re union members as well.”
