CalArts is pleased to report that the Institute and the CWA-Technical Artist Support Staff union have completed bargaining for a second collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The prior agreement—the first three-year contract with CWA (Communications Workers of America)—was in effect from April 2002 to April 2025, and extended by the parties through mutual agreement.
CWA will now take the next step of ratifying the new CBA by their membership. If ratified, the new CBA will become effective following signature and will remain in effect through April 2028.
