Where can one find information on IA rules/regs?

My understanding is you should check with your local for specific rules, right?  I am crazy?

That's my understanding. Each local, or even each theater, has its own set of rules.

Yes- check with your local. Conveniently, I was at the theatre when I read this post and asked the IA guys standing next to me. They said that there's no centralized set of rules, it varies from house to house, but when working at a new house, find out who the shop steward is and ask them. (It's not always the "head" person).

This is rather like asking for the employee handbook for working in a shopping mall. There may be a few general rules, but the more pertinent information is in the handbooks of the individual shops.

Well, it's good to know that the reason I feel like it's different everywhere I go is because it is! At least I'm not totally crazy!
