Contract Services is a nonprofit founded in the mid-1960s by the major film studios in collaboration with Hollywood unions to administer the terms of the collective bargaining agreements that govern a freelance film and television workforce on the West Coast. The organization runs apprenticeship training and safety programs, maintains seniority rosters, and delivers other industry-wide services for this workforce, which numbers approximately 50,000 people in the greater Los Angeles area. It is based in Burbank, California, and operates within the entertainment providers sector to support these functions through its programs. Its work centers on serving the West Coast Studio Local Unions and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, providing the systems and processes needed to apply employment conditions across the freelance workforce. In November 2023, Contract Services Administrative Trust Fund launched a COVID-19 Prevention course to support safer return-to-work practices during the pandemic.
