Newspaper says admission fee has jumped to $ 10.00. Is it just

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.
Poor Dan. He had to pay a contractor who paid his workers a decent
wage with benefits.

What do *you* do that's worth $50?

Dan speaks the truth Harry. That is the way it goes at the
International Exposition Center in Cleveland. I am sure other
unionized convention centers are the same
So?

You go to a prime convention center, you want work done, you deal with
the contractors with whom the convention center has contracted. That's
how it is in the real world.

No, that is how some unions chose to make it in the real world.

Wonder why jobs are going overseas?

Convention center jobs are going overseas?

Union jobs certainly are.

Sure. US Corporations are taking us to the bottom, heading back to the
middle ages.

How. They say they have job X and it pays Y. Take it or leave it.

If you don't like what you are being offered by the big bad corporations
then start your own and keep all of the money for yourself.

There is maximum oppourtunity in the US of A and if you just want to sit
around and wait for somebody to tell you what to do you will never make the
big money. Or, if you want to put a little bit of sweat equity into
something you will reap the rewards!
