Kim,

I agree with the comments of the others. Temp agencies are good "muscle"
for unloading trucks and moving items. Over time you will learn who the
better individuals are and can request they be sent the next time you
need work done. For many years I also used stage hands. They are more
expensive, but come with a few more skills.

Subject: using temporary labor for exhibit set up/strike

We are considering using a temp agency to supply us the manpower we need
to set up and strike traveling exhibits.  Has anyone had experience
using temp labor for this function and if so, what has your experience
been - good, bad?  I have a small exhibits staff so the temp labor would
do the majority of the work
