thanks for your comments. Its interesting…you are the 3rd person to comment on that very topic regarding NAB.

my hope is that they do not try to flex to much and turn off many of those coming in from overseas.

we will have to wait and see.

as for what the show book said…here it is..

“full-time employees of the exhibitor, age 18 and over, may set up and take down their own exhibits, with the use of hand tools, but forklifts or any other heavy equipment required, must be retained through and operated by the general service contractor”

after going back and reviewing I was unable to find anything regarding any ratios of employees to union installers. it might be there, but I could not find it.

Kevin

Since it was a Freeman show, I could easily look up the information. And according to what I found, any employee of a company could setup their booth as long as they carried company identification.

Sounds like the union guy was certainly trying to throw his weight around. I’ve already warned one of my clients and suggested they make sure they take the “rules” with them and highlight what they can do in case this happens again!

Wow – sounds like Vegas is the new Chicago. Thanks for the warning Kevin.

Show them the real regime doesn’t like dealing with idiots or sending our clients to deal with them either….

It will be interesting to see how they handle the international crowd when NAB installs in a few weeks, lots of British stand builders show up every year with their saws and paint brushes and work all hours. That show has always been understood that employees with business cards can work on their own properties and there was a 1:1 or 2:1 rule for EACs/ union labor vs the imported installers.
If they enforce a Vegas union workers only at NAB,there will be a lot of push back I can assure you.
