I was planning on exhibiting at a Realtor convention in New Orleans next month.... that is, until I started learning what the additional "fees" would be. Didn't take me long to figure out they would be better off without me there stirring up trouble.

The teamsters have most major venues locked up. I understand the worst is McCormick Place in Chicago. If you're responsible for a booth setup, you bring a pocketful of $50s.
I was with Memorex at a show in New York in '76. The electrical union people saw a product manager touch an electrical cord. The next morning when the show started, every electrical cord in the entire booth was cut. Memorex was there to display mainframe disk drives (large, expensive items at the time). Couldn't fire up a single one.
