HOW?

By failing to negotiate equitable Unit and Fringe Benefits contracts for members of the California Association of Professional Employees.

For the Unit Contracts, the County is demanding CAPE members agree to a base salary increase of just 7% over three years.

Dear CAPE Members,

The Board of Directors and Staff of the California Association of Professional Employees wish you a very Happy New Year.

We know the last several months have been extremely challenging to our fellow CAPE members, as we have been in negotiations with Los Angeles County management and are currently at impasse at the salary tables.

We thank you for sticking with your union and supporting the Board, the Coalition of County Unions and your unit negotiating team members during these trying times.

Please join the leadership of the California Association of Professional Employees for an important Member Forum to educate and discuss the current state of contract negotiations and how the County's "Last, Best and Final" WILL COST YOU MONEY.

Please be sure to RSVP for accurate head count. SPACE IS LIMITED.
