Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 13 workers ratified their first contract on Monday, February 3. The contract covers nearly 50 ushers, ticket takers, front of house associates, ticket office associates, performance supervisors and concessions leads. IATSE requested voluntary recognition and received it on January 15, 2024.
“While bargaining began slowly, we have appreciated the consistent attention to these negotiations from CTC throughout and since the company underwent a change in both the artistic and managing director roles last summer. We are pleased that our work together has produced meaningful gains for member employees and strengthened CTC’s workforce,” said an IATSE representative.
IATSE members focused on language protecting diversity and accessibility and the development of health and safety protections, which were agreed to in the contract.
