The CPER archive is now free, digitized, and available for download.
Since 1969, the California Public Employee Relations (CPER) program at UC Berkeley has shared practical resources to help management and labor representatives navigate the unique challenges of public sector employment relations. For many years, this included publishing and distributing our series of pocket guides.
As of 2020, CPER ceased production of new editions of our pocket guides. As of December 2025, we have closed our e-store. All CPER pocket guides are now available only as free, downloadable PDFs.
