The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that covers the Children’s Theatre and IATSE Local 13 does not permit the Local directly or indirectly to call, authorize, encourage, finance, and/or assist in any way a strike by employees represented by the Local. 

The CBA also prohibits, under penalty of disciplinary action, any employee represented by the Local from instigating or participating directly or indirectly, in any mass resignation or concerted withdrawal of services, slowdown, walkout, work stoppage, sympathy strike, picketing, or other interference with any operation of the Children’s Theatre. 

Although the Local does not sanction or approve any such action by employees represented by the Local, the Local will continue to take all reasonable steps it can to enforce the rights of employees under the CBA and otherwise to help address legal violations in the workplace within the scope of the Local’s authority.
