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.
In the aftermath of the devastating California wildfires, we find ourselves grappling with a profound sense of loss and resilience. Many in our CAPE family have faced unimaginable hardships as homes and livelihoods were reduced to ashes.
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 Partners of Ford & Wallach, one of California’s preeminent workers’ compensation law firms, will be holding a special CAPE Night: Worker’s Compensation training session on Wednesday, May 8 at 6:30 pm. – exclusively for CAPE members.
This in-person event provides a comprehensive understanding of the practices of Worker’s Compensation.

We often hear the saying, "Health is wealth," and it couldn't be truer.
That’s why CAPE through the Coalition of County Unions (CCU) consistently negotiates a fair Choices contribution and strong benefits at the CCU table. Nevertheless, as we navigate through our busy work and home schedules, it's easy to overlook certain aspects of our well-being. Today, we'd like to shed light on a fundamental yet sometimes neglected aspect of health – oral hygiene.
We are a successful and thriving union, but a strong contract means little if members aren’t aware of our rights in the workplace and empowered to exercise them.
In this issue, we look back at the amazing work and incredible victories secured during the fall and winter of 2023, discuss helpful tips when considering retirement, and gear up for CAPE’s 60th Anniversary in 2024.
On behalf of our CAPE Board of Directors, Delegate Leaders, and Staff, we wish you a healthy and happy holiday filled with joy and laughter through the New Year.
Holiday Closure: Our CAPE office will be closed on Monday, December 25, as well as Monday, January 1.
