dismantling, repairing, and building of all temporary exhibits.

Teamsters Union Local 986. The Teamsters are responsible for the loading and unloading (drayage) of all trucks or trailers
of common carriers including van lines, as well as the handling of empty crates and the operation of forklift trucks.

International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees
(IATSE) Union, Local 33. IATSE staging technicians may be used on theatrical lighting projects and rigging projects as long
as labor is used by LACC’s Lighting Policy and Rigging Policy. IATSE staging technicians may also be
used for audio-visual work, camera operators, stage and scenic assembly (general sessions only), lighting console

The provision and distribution of all electrical services at the LACC must be provided by one of the Center’s authorized
electrical/utility contractors, whose respective staff are members of IBEW. Licensees may contract labor through their
