Union Regulations

To assist you in planning for your participation in the forthcoming event, we are certain you will appreciate knowing in advance that union labor will be required for certain aspects of your exhibit handling. To help you understand the jurisdiction the various unions have, we ask that you read the following:

Sign & Display Installation/Dismantling
Union jurisdictions prevail over all set-up and dismantling of exhibits including signs and laying of carpet. This does not apply to the unpacking and placement of your merchandise. You may set-up your 10 x 10 exhibit display if one person can accomplish the task in less than 1/2 hour without the use of tools. Union jurisdiction prevails on Exhibits that extends over 10 feet in any direction.

If your exhibit preparations, installation or dismantling requires more than 1/2 hour, and/or the use of tools, you must use the appropriate union personnel. One full-time company employee may supervise/work with the union crew.

Material Handling
Union jurisdictions prevail over the operation of all material handling equipment, all unloading and reloading, and handling of empty containers. An exhibitor may move material that can be hand-carried by one person in one trip, without the use of dollies, hand trucks, or other mechanical equipment.

Tipping
Event Productions requests that exhibitors do not tip our employees. They are paid an excellent wage scale denoting a professional status, and we feel that tipping is not necessary. This applies to all Event Production employees.

Safety
Standing on chairs, tables or other rental furniture is prohibited. This furniture is not engineered to support your standing weight. Event Productions cannot be responsible for injuries or falls caused by the improper use of this furniture. If assistance is required in assembling your booth, please order labor on the Display Labor order form and the necessary ladders and tools will be provided.
