In many cities the union workers at the exhibit halls are nothing more than
crooks. You cannot plug in your electrical cord on your display to the
outlet next to you...a union electrician must do the job and you pay for
his/her time.

Want something moved? Better not do it yourself or you will be fined....the
union laborer has to do it and at union pay.....again you pay.

Perhaps the greed is not only with the city. In the end the public and the
exhibitors get the screw job.

oh well, maybe if the city starts sharing all that money with the people
who
actually work at the show, they won't have this problem.

For those of you wanting to attend the Vancouver, BC boat show, at BC
Place
Stadium, it could be canceled :-(

It's a great show, if anyone can attend it. And well worth the admission
cost. Hopefully, it will still go ahead.

The article says:

Waddell said that the recreational boating industry generates
approximately $1.4 billion annually for the B.C. economy, and
employs nearly 15,000 full-time workers. She said the show
is important because B.C.'s boating industry is spread throughout
the province. "They come from all over to view products and
see dealers, who are all in one place."
