Teamsters 2785: Convention & Trade Show

What you'll learn

• ✓ Identify what work falls inside Teamsters Local 2785's jurisdiction on a convention/trade-show call versus what belongs to IATSE stagehands
• ✓ Explain the Local 2785 dispatch sequence — employer name-request, then Business Agent filling the balance in seniority order off the out-of-work list, plus the referral slip
• ✓ Draw the dock-vs-show-floor jurisdiction line between Local 2785 and Local 70 (including the dead-vehicle rule) and why getting it right on the call sheet prevents grievances
• ✓ Describe the components of a 2785 rate stack and steward's-report workflow in structural terms, without reciting any specific dollar figures that live in the private rate data

Read the short course, then pass the exam with a perfect score — retake it as many times as you need — to earn a verifiable certificate. It teaches the framework and the vocabulary; exact union rates always come from the governing agreement, never a number memorized for a test.
