Union, Tailgates N' Tallboys organizers come to agreement to avoid picketing

PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Any picketing of the Tailgate N' Tallboys festival has been called off after an agreement between organizers and a theatrical union was made. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees announced they have come to an 'amicable agreement' with organizers, the union said in a Facebook post. 'All planned picketing and handbilling actions by Locals 85 and 193 have been officially called off,' the post said. In May, the Iowa-based Locals 85 (Davenport, Iowa) and Locals 193 (Bloomington) said organizers of Tailgates N' Tallboys were not hiring local stagehands, according to a union news release at the time. The union claimed at the time that USA Concerts and Events bypassed union crews in favor of an out-of-state, non-union labor provider for their Clinton event. They said this undermined a Collective Bargaining Agreement that contains an Evergreen clause, which automatically renews the deal unless terminated by written notice.
