Local field decisions

What changes in Chicago?

What should the Chicago concessions crew brief cover at Soldier Field, Museum Campus?

Price the Soldier Field concessions call from Chicago's municipal floor, not Illinois's statewide rate. The city figure is $17.05, compared with $15.00 for Illinois workers age 18 and older outside the higher local rule, and Chicago's amount changes each July.

What goes on the Chicago call sheet?

Put the applicable event-date wage in the brief, then identify stands, cash custody, stock replenishment, break relief, and closing count responsibilities. Soldier Field is open to lakefront weather, so note which posts are exposed and where workers report if conditions alter an exterior assignment. A same-week roster still needs the current wage and venue plan confirmed.
