It is also possible that your convention center's electricians are not
represented by the IBEW.

Having attended and exhibited at many trade shows over the years, the fee
for electrical service is a hourly rate with a one hour minimum, regardless
of how long it actually takes to do the job. The 50 buck fee being
discussed here would apply for wiring in a new service, or plugging in the
cord to an existing one. The requirement on the exhibitor to utilize the
exhibit hall contractor, union or not, is mandated by the exhibit hall
insurance regulations.

I don't mind having to pay for that service.
