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.
Communities throughout Los Angeles County have been devastated by massive fires that have burned tens of thousands of acres, destroyed over 1,000 buildings, and killed five individuals.
The time has come and we’re ready to kick off contract negotiations!
Starting mid-December, our bargaining team will meet with the County to advocate for the priorities set by CAPE members in our bargaining survey.
Our initial sessions will focus primarily on introductions, setting ground rules, scheduling discussions around salary inequities, and presenting our initial proposals. This is just the beginning of our journey to secure a strong contract to secure good raises, improved telework protections, and career advancement opportunities.
On October 19, 2024, the California Association of Professional Employees (CAPE) hosted a memorable 60th Anniversary Membership Dinner at the beautiful Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA.
