Highlights from our 2024 CAPE Contract Bargaining Survey
To help us prepare for bargaining, we asked CAPE members to respond to a survey about priorities for the new contract. We received a huge response of more than 800—and the message is loud and clear:
Top 3 Priorities*
- Pay Increase
- Telework
- Career Advancement (i.e. improved performance evaluations, licenses and certification bonuses, training, safety, etc.)
*Healthcare and Retirement were also top issues but are bargained separately in Fringe Benefits contract negotiations with the Coalition of County Unions (CCU). Survey results have been shared with our CCU representatives.
72% of respondents agree our workload has dramatically increased over the last 3 years.
64% of respondents believe workload has increased primarily because the County has not filled vacant positions
Is it important we strengthen Telework protections for members who can?
96% of respondents currently Teleworking Agree
YES! Even the majority of respondents who aren’t able to Telework agree we need to
protect Telework for those who can.
Stay Tuned
