The Los Angeles County Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) requires contractors to prioritize hiring local and disadvantaged workers, veterans, women, and people from underrepresented communities. The CWA establishes minimum work hours for apprentices, thereby providing training and skill development opportunities in the construction industry. Additionally, it includes provisions for labor peace, requiring contractors to work collaboratively with unions to prevent labor disputes and ensure project stability.
