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.
That would be Detroit.
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 :-(
http://vancouver.cbc.ca/regional/ser...t-show20050207
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."
