Helpful Information from the Exhibit Contractor

 

Exhibit Labor

Exhibitors have the option of utilizing the Official Service Contractor, who provides quality union labor or personnel from their own companies to install and dismantle displays.

Full-time employees of exhibiting companies may set up their own exhibits. Any full-time company personnel involved should have visible identification of their company status when engaged in these activities.


Freight Handling

All work involved in the loading and unloading of all trucks, trailers and common and contract carriers from the facility docks, including empty crates, and the operation of material handling equipment, is under the jurisdiction of GES Exposition Services.

Full-time employees of exhibiting companies may ‘hand carry’ what one person can carry in one trip, provided they do not use material handling equipment. When exhibitors do choose to ‘hand carry’ material, they may not be permitted access to the loading dock/freight door areas. GES Exposition Services will not be responsible for any material we do not handle.

All exhibitors are expected to comply with any union requirements in effect and as outlined in the “SHOW SITE WORK RULES” section of the Exhibitor kit.


Gratuities

Our work rules prohibit the SOLICITATION OR ACCEPTANCE of tips in cash, product or gifts in kind by any employee (union or non-union). Our employees are paid appropriate wages denoting professional status, therefore tipping of any kind is not allowed.
