We've had a few readers ask about IATSE Local 8 protesting AEW running the 2300 Arena.
We are told by company sources that AEW would be going through the venue to use local labor and would pay the prevailing wages involved.
The reality is that it's not actually an issue between the local union and AEW, but an issue with the venue itself, which is traditionally a non-union building.
IATSE Local 8's headquarters, as irony has it, is located across the street from the Arena, which predated the IATSE HQ being there by decades.
It appears the union is using the fact that AEW is producing a bunch of global broadcasts from the legendary venue to garner attention and try to pressure the Arena into using union labor, nothing more.
