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.
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.
Our 2024-2025 CAPE Bargaining Team is ready to head into negotiations, representing every CAPE member and building on the hard-won progress we’ve achieved.
The June 7 Primary is right around the corner and we need strong advocates for working families and the workers who provide the vital public services that keep L.A. County running.
CAPE members are politically diverse and united in moving the workforce forward through equity in wages and benefits, safe working conditions, opportunities, non-discrimination, and protecting workers' rights. We work together and believe in supporting a political and legislative system that empowers working people and uplifts our community.

As our CAPE Bargaining Team meets with County management, we want to show a strong display of unity. We’re only as strong as the members in the workplace.
Our 2022 CAPE contract negotiations have officially begun.

This week, the California Association of Professional Employees (CAPE) – representing nearly 3,000 members who ensure the safety of L.A.
