I was a stage hand with IATSE (THE theatre and stage workers union) and the road crew for the band seemingly forgot about us. So there were five union members just standing there watching the road crew finish putting up the stage for about 3-4 hours (5?). As union members, the ‘employer’ is contractually obligated to send us on break and after a certain amount of time give us a hot meal. We missed all of those, so by the time some one noticed us we were already on quadruple time (penta time?). I was paid ~$1000 to do nothing for 4 hours. I love unions. :3
