COMMUNITY WORKFORCE AGREEMENT (CWA):
This Project is a covered “Project Work” as defined in the CWA the City entered into with the Los Angeles / Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council and the Signatory Craft Councils and Local Unions. The CWA is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that establishes labor relations procedures. Therefore, the awarded Contractor and its subcontractors of all tiers shall agree to be party to and bound by the CWA by signing a Letter of Assent prior to the commencement of any Project Work.
