At trade shows we have to hire the union guys to PLUG IN THE BOOTH
LIGHTS AND EQUIPMENT. It's against union rules for us (electronic
engineers) to plug in AC power cords ourselves.
This kind of BS is exactly why Detroit is bankrupt, and there is no
manufacturing in the US anymore.
Oh, right. It has nothing to do with American manufacturers wanting to
pay $2.00 a day for labor.
Oh, most convention centers want their people or contractors to do the
work so as to avoid additional liability i$$ue$ caused by morons who
don't handle electrical hookups properly or safely, or fall off ladders, et cetera.
Wait, wait, maybe the convention centers should have special rules for
special "electronic engineers" like you, and separate rules for floor sweepers like Scotty.
What the ****! Plugging in a standard wall plug, even a liberal arts major
can handle that. This is not wiring in junction boxes, this is a standard
house plug that is being plugged in to a receptacle that is already there
via a union electrician. Does the next union electrician need to be there
to check the first ones work?
