But anyway, this does match my experience in dealing with unions when I do trade shows. Unions frustrate the heck out of me with their red tape, and high costs. Especially when you're in an industry, that the people you bring to the trade show to work your booth, do the same things the union guys do.(Electricians, riggers, etc)

I'm not going into my frustrations here, as there may be more to this story than is written.
ever been to the Chicago convention center-
teamsters unload trucks
iatse does stage-

got your own guys, thats OK you get to watch these union guys drink coffee while you work and here is the bill-
oh wait this invoice states 12 stagehands, but i only saw 8 on site.
yea those guys were there too, you just didn't see them. pay us-
