The Council of Classified Employees (CCE) is an organization dedicated to supporting classified employee members of the CFT. Throughout California, the CCE represents thousands of classified employees working as bus drivers, secretaries and office workers, paraprofessionals and teaching assistants, custodians and maintenance workers, food service workers, and other non-certificated employees in early childhood centers, schools, and on college campuses.

The CCE is a division of the California Federation of Teachers (CFT). The CFT is an affiliate of the over one million-member American Federation of Teachers, which represents 200,000 classified employees nationwide.
