I encountered something similar when I used to exhibit at the Kentucky Convention Center is Louisville. I was allowed to carry my own display in and out, but I couldn't hire anyone to help me. If I got help it had to be from the union guys standing around. But after the first year I realized there was so much going on they couldn't tell who was who, so I brought a helper along. John Deere's display had a lot of big tractors and combines that none of the union guys had any idea how to move, but they had to have one guy standing around watching for every John Deere employee who actually did the work.
I can see the electrician doing the electrical work though. Those exhibitors would burn the place down with stupid extension cord lash ups.
