Minneapolis Theater Secures Collective Bargaining Agreement for Production and Backstage Staff

Production and backstage workers at Children’s Theatre Company (CTC) got their first union contract after a vote from the Members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 13. This marks a local milestone for these types of workers in the theater industry, and it sets an example for theater unions across the nation. North Star Stories talks with a CTC administrator and a union representative about the process gains and next steps for the workers.
