How do labor rules come into play at a tradeshow?
Union labor will be required for certain aspects of your exhibit handling. GES Exposition Services will have trained labor available to assist you in all aspects of the setup and dismantle of your booth and with the movement of your equipment. Union exhibit labor claims jurisdiction for the installation, dismantling, and cleaning of prefabricated exhibits and displays when this work is done by persons other than full-time company personnel. Exhibitors handling this work themselves must be prepared to provide proof of full-time employment. Labor may be employed by completion of labor forms enclosed in your service kit. All mechanical equipment on the trade show floor must be under the care, custody, and control of GES. This includes forklifts, scooters, pallet jacks, genie lifts, etc., as well as all other equipment mechanical in nature.
