The California Association of Professional Employees (CAPE, AFL-CIO) is the bargaining unit for more than 2,500 professional employees of the County of Los Angeles.
We’re in the middle of one of the toughest County contract negotiations in decades, but our solidarity is making a real impact.
Last week, all three CAPE bargaining units met with County management. Together, we secured tentative agreements on five more articles – steady progress, though many key priorities are still on the table.
It is with deep honor and gratitude that I step into this role as the new CAPE President.
As the first woman to serve in this position in our 60-year history, I do not take lightly the responsibility of carrying our union forward into a new era.
