California Public Employers Labor Relations Association

The California Public Employers Labor Relations Association, or CALPELRA, helps California public sector employers better serve their communities by providing comprehensive, quality training in labor relations and personnel management and by fostering professional development with a dynamic network of support.

CALPELRA is a professional, nonprofit California association established in 1975, comprised of public sector management representatives responsible for carrying out their agencies' labor relations / human resource programs.

Who are CALPELRA's members?

Friends of CALPELRA also include attorneys and private consultants exclusively serving management.

CALPELRA members come from large and small jurisdictions. This professional mix creates a unique opportunity for members to exchange perspectives, information, and skills in the dynamic fields of public sector labor relations and human resources.
