94% of CAPE Members Voted YES in September to Ratify Pay Raise Agreement
Following the overwhelming approval of the Salary Contract Agreements by CAPE members in all six county units in late September, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday, October 15, to ratify salary contract agreements.
The three-year salary contract agreement includes an overall 7% pay increase, as well as bonuses and special pay practices for many CAPE-represented job categories. The package also included a first ever CAPE Delegate Pilot Program that will facilitate member organizing and internal communications for the next contract negotiations cycle.
The pay package includes three pay raises: 2% retroactive to January or March, depending on the Unit; 2.5% on October 1, 2019, for all Units; and 2.5% on October 1, 2020, for all Units.
Additionally, qualifying members in all six CAPE units will receive additional pay as a result of bonuses from licensing, registration and certifications as detailed in the ratification materials.
