Backstage: CD Workshops Face Legal Challenge by Laura Weinert

The California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement has issued an opinion that casting director workshops constitute a "clear violation of the provisions of section 450 of the California Labor Code" and ordered all such workshops in the state of California to cease and desist. In a letter sent out on Feb. 21, workshop owners were given official notice that they have 20 days to respond to the law enforcement agency indicating that they have complied.This is not a challenge to Equity workshops, but rather "classes" offered by schools like TVI here in NYC and LA that students pay thousands to meet casting directors and agents.
