To my understanding, a lot of IATSE Unions have Overhire call lists for non members, which they use when in need of additional workers for when larger shows come into town. Do such call lists exist for the Local 1 in NYC and the Local 4 in Brooklyn & Queens? When I called the Local 1 directory, the secretary informed me of the replacement room at their offices, which you report to at 7:00 am for a chance of employment for the day. I am thinking more along the lines of a more specific call list for skilled electrics labor, or skilled audio labor in cases when additional hands are needed. Does any one have any more information on this? I imagine its a "you have to know someone' situation, but I figured I would put the question out there anyway.
I am looking to gain some more potential work as a Lighting freelancer, and get some experience with the arena scale events, as a lot of my freelance work is smaller corporate style events. With the music festival / summer concert season starting to kick in, I imagine there must be a need here and there...
Thanks for your time!
