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.
CAPE and the Coalition of County Unions (CCU) Reach a Tentative Agreement on a Fringe Benefits Contract with the County of Los Angeles.
After months of virtual bargaining for a successor Fringe Benefits Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Coalition of County Unions (CCU) has reached a Tentative Agreement for a nine-month contract, effective retroactively from July 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022.
CAPE and hundreds of other union members and labor allies poured into the stadium to root for the Dodgers on Friday, August 20, as they played the New York Mets.
Our President, Carlos Clayton, represented CAPE on the field before the game while the opening pitch was delivered. Clearly, our CAPE members brought good luck with us, as the Dodgers beat the Mets 3-2 to maintain an eight-game winning streak.
Thank you to everyone who attended the game, as well as those who supported by watching at home.
Our 2021 CAPE Board of Directors Election has officially begun. The terms of five (5) members of the Board of Directors expire as of September 2021. A mail ballot election will be held throughout the month of August. The five candidates receiving the largest number of votes will be elected to serve two-year terms (September 2021 - September 2023).
Ballots have been mailed to all CAPE members in good standing and must be received at the Election Post Office Box by 12 p.m. on August 25. (Ballots will NOT be accepted at the CAPE office.)
After weeks of negotiations for a successor Fringe Benefit Memorandum of Understanding, the County refused to appropriately recognize our front line sacrifices during the pandemic
We officially kicked off our 2021 CAPE Contract Negotiations. Our bargaining team members met with County Management via Zoom, set parameters and ground rules for negotiations, and presented and reviewed our initial Unit proposals for a new one-year contract.
Over the last year, we have witnessed just how vital it is to have a strong union contract. We’re committed to protecting our wages, benefits, and working conditions as we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lighting at the Assessor Hall of Administration (HOA) has been subpar for far too long. That’s why CAPE members joined together to call on Assessor Management to make the long overdue upgrades and repairs. Proper lighting in an office is not only essential to productivity but valuable to the health of all employees by reducing eye fatigue and headaches.
