PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia's Convention Center is
dealing with four unions now that Carpenters Local 8 and Teamsters Local 107
missed a deadline last week to agree to new work rules.
Convention Center officials say those unions will no longer
work at the center starting midnight Saturday.
But officials for those unions plan to fight that decision
come Monday.
The center's management has blamed former work rules for
chasing larger events away from the facility.
Under the new work rules, exhibitors can build larger
display booths without union help and use tools like stepladders and screwdrivers
while doing so. The old union rules prohibited that. It's also no longer
necessary to have a union electrician plug in computers.
The center is now dealing with local unions for Laborers,
Electrical Workers, Stagehands and Iron Workers.
