Heading: The McCormick Place Call List

Text: Normally, the Union uses two separate “call lists” for referring workers to potential employers, the “short call” and the “long call.” The short call is for jobs demanding less than ten days’ labor, while the long call is for jobs requiring at least ten days’ labor. However, in referring workers to the McCormick Place convention center, the Union uses a third call 4 No. 15-1241 list—the “McCormick Call.” All workers sent to McCormick Place begin as short-term workers; that is, for less than ten days’ work. MPEA, which operates McCormick Place, may later convert any selected workers from short-term to longterm work. MPEA has not defined the process for converting workers or established standards for how workers qualify for conversion. Instead, Plaintiffs claim that conversion occurs “informally and without transparency.”
