Stagehands at the Kennedy Center have ratified a new 4-year contract that includes an 8% wage increase (with 1% of that going to healthcare), maintains the line on severance pay and includes additional funding for training and education. Under the new deal, arrived at after months of sometimes rocky negotiations, the Kennedy Center agreed to accept Local 22’s Referral Rules & Procedures.
