Labor Rules & Regulations
To assist you in planning your participation for your upcoming exposition, we are certain you will appreciate knowing in advance that union labor may be required for certain aspects of your exhibit handling. To help you understand the jurisdictions of the various unions, we ask that you read the following: EXHIBIT INSTALLATION AND DISMANTLING LABOR Exhibitor personnel may set-up their own exhibits if so desired, provided they are full-time employees of the exhibiting company. Any labor services that may be required beyond what your regular full-time employees can provide must be rendered by the Union. If, however, you hire any labor to assist you, it must be through a contractor which meets all of the regulations as an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor. Labor can be ordered in advance by returning the Display Labor order form, or by ordering at show site from the AGS Expo Services Center. FREIGHT HANDLING LABOR AGS Expo Services, in cooperation with the Teamsters Union, has the responsibility of receiving and handling all exhibit materials and empty crates. We have the responsibility to manage docks and schedule vehicles for the smooth and efficient move-in and move-out of the exhibition. AGS Expo Services will not be responsible, however, for any material they do not handle. Exhibitors may unload Personally Owned Vehicles (cars, passenger vans and pick-up trucks) at an area designated by AGS Expo Services, and may hand-carry materials to their exhibit space without the use of hand trucks, dollies or pallet jacks. AGS Expo Services will have complete control of the loading docks at all times. Vehicles must not be left unattended at the loading areas. Any unattended vehicles will be towed away at owner’s expense. The Fire Marshal absolutely prohibits the storage of empty containers in the exhibit hall. Arrangements have been made with AGS Expo Services to store empty crates. Please refer to the Freight Information sheet in the service kit for the handling of empties, disposal of skids, etc. GRATUITIES Tipping is expressly prohibited. This includes such practices as giving money, merchandise, or other special consideration for services rendered. Do not give coffee breaks other than mid-morning and mid-afternoon, when the Union has a 15 minute paid break. Meal breaks are one hour. Any attempt to solicit a gratuity by an employee for any service should be reported immediately to the Exhibition Manager and AGS Expo Services. IN GENERAL Craftsmen at all levels must be instructed to refrain from expressing any grievances or directly challenging the practices of any exhibitor. All questions originated by labor are to be expressed only to AGS Expo Services and/or the Exhibition Manager. Exhibitors are asked to refrain from voicing labor complaints directly to craft personnel. Any questions regarding contract labor should be directed to the Exhibition Manager or AGS Expo Services. SAFETY Safety of everyone working in the hall is of our utmost concern at all times. Standing on chairs, tables and other rental furniture is prohibited. This furniture is not engineered to support your standing weight. AGS Expo Services 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.
