 About Us
CAPE-SEIU is the 21st century state employee organization with: A track record of winning higher wages, better health care and secure retirements.
A partnership approach that focuses on solutions instead of conflict. The strength to stand up for all hard working state employees. A Record of Standing Up for State EmployeesFor more than 75 years, CAPE (Colorado Association of Public Employees) has been uniting state employees to advocate for better salaries, affordable health insurance, a secure retirement, and quality services. Through the hard times of lean budgets and through the good times of surpluses, CAPE has been speaking out and uniting state employees. Just last year, we led the fight to protect PERA, and we passed a bill that maintained our benefits and secure retirement.

Leading the Way for Better Health Care With a Track Record of Success
Ready to Meet the Challenge of a New Century
Today, CAPE has re-tooled itself to meet new challenges and we’ve adopted a 21st century approach that sets CAPE apart from other employee organizations. CAPE is leading the way for state employees and is seizing the opportunity to create a partnership between frontline employees and our new Governor and new Legislature. We’ve launched a campaign to reduce the high cost of our health insurance and to improve health care for all.
We’ve collected over 1000 ideas from state employees on how to make Colorado state government work better, and we’re sharing those ideas with Governor Ritter. We've initiated partnership efforts to help solve problems in several state agencies, including CDOT, DORA and DNR and CDPHE. We’ve formed an alliance with SEIU, the fastest growing, most innovative and successful employee organization in America. SEIU unites more than 850,000 public employees nationwide. The CAPE-SEIU alliance provides state employees with even more resources and expertise. And we’re building our strength in numbers so that we can win big improvements. Once we demonstrate that Colorado state employees are united and working together, we’ll be able to form a partnership with the state and negotiate directly for better health pay and benefits. CAPE is the organization with a plan to win, and we’re putting it into practice. Join CAPE today, and be part of creating a better future for state employees and all Colorado residents.
