The union representing Major League Baseball players is responding after video showed members of the New York Yankees walking right into a labor controversy in Boston. Marriott hotel workers across the city went on strike earlier this week, and their picket lines include hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton, where some, but not all, of the Yankees staff and players are staying. Video shows some of the players and their families did cross the picket line to check in to the hotel. "From what we understand, these workers have been trying to negotiate a fair contract for more than six months," a spokesperson for the Major League Baseball Player's Association said. "They deserve to be heard and deserve our support."The striking workers include a range of employees including housekeepers, doormen and bartenders.
