Illinois has finally felt enough pain from losing conventions to other states (like Nevada, despite Obama's warning) to change the law to let exhibitors plug their own computers in or hire someone to set up their booth without having to pay them union wages.
The unsurprising response from the carpenter's union?: "The Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters responded with a lawsuit saying they've been singled out and pushed to unemployment."
The change has already brought conventions back to Chicago.
Who would've thought allowing people to not have to pay punitive union prices to do things they are perfectly capable of doing themselves would increase business.
