hiring halls

Union employment centers

A hiring hall is a union-operated or jointly managed facility where workers seeking employment are dispatched to job sites, common in industries with intermittent work like construction, longshoring, and entertainment.

Employers request workers through the hall rather than hiring directly, and jobs are typically assigned based on seniority or rotation: He showed up at the hiring hall every morning hoping for a day's work.
