It should be free.

It should be free but many of these shows are run by large exhibition
companies employing union labor at exorbitant rates. Traffic
control,
ticket sales, security, etc. are all union controlled.

I have attended shows where you would have to literally pay a union
electrician $50 to plug in your extension cord. Plug it in
yourself and
you would be charged the same $50. Simple forklift delivery of your
booth materials cost hundreds. Even worse, they would put their hand
out looking for a tip while they are on the clock. Pretty sad.


Show me ONE PIECE of evidence that says you have to hire a union
electrician to plug in an extension cord. All of this urban myth stuff
has gotten everyone in a tizzy, so show some damned proof that that is
the rule.....or quit.

Got in late today, Kevin? Sorry, no receipts from McCormick place
from seven years ago - it might be more than $50 for a plug in now.
Read the other posts, I'm not the only one. No one else has
disputed the fact. Maybe they have been to trade shows.



I doubt you directly hired a union electrician to work on your
exhibit at McCormick.


Not at all. That convention, once billed as the largest in the US,
has move to Las Vegas due to the high costs. These are their words,
not mine.



Las Vegas is one of the strongest union towns in the United States.


Oh my! That Dan loves to shovel the c*ap. Thanks for catching him on
that one.
