Union CBA summaries, minimum rates, and notable provisions
Essential information for performing artists
The National Labor Relations Act protects your right to organize, join unions, and bargain collectively. Employers cannot retaliate against you for union activity.
Most performing arts CBAs include provisions for overtime, travel, housing, per diem, health insurance, and pension contributions. Know what you are entitled to.
If your employer violates the terms of a CBA, contact your union representative immediately. Document everything and keep copies of your contract.
