Why I Joined

“I briefly left county service for the private sector and saw the need for a strong labor union. We got little respect or support. When I returned to the county I immediately rejoined CAPE. I know that our labor union fights for us!”

Regional Planning Assistant II

L.A. County Regional Planning Department

“As professional public servants, we are all working toward the same goals. I joined CAPE because I understand the need for County professional employees to have a STRONG, UNITED VOICE on the issues that impact the vital public services we provide.”

After I was promoted into the CAPE ranks, I became a member because I saw it as an investment that will help me achieve my career goals.

I joined CAPE to play an active role in the future of my career. Unlike many professionals, I have a union to support me as I work to improve LA County and I am happy to be part of the team that makes this possible.

We joined CAPE because in these times of economic uncertainty and public employees coming under attack, we know CAPE is standing up for benefits that we've earned.

I joined CAPE for many reasons; I wanted to have professional representation, and a forum from which my interests will be taken into serious consideration.

I joined CAPE during the Agency Shop Campaign because as a member I get more benefits than I would as a fee-payer and the difference in cost is minimal. Agency Shop made the choice easy. My husband, a DPW CAPE member, and I are now a CAPE family.
