ABOUT AFT 1521A
Established 1982
During our 42 year history, the AFT College Staff Guild, Local 1521A, has evolved into the second largest AFT/CFT local in California. In 1982, the local and national AFT organized a decertification election for the Clerical/Technical Unit I employees of the Los Angeles Community College District. “It was time for the Clerical/Technical Unit to be better represented and we felt AFT could do the job best,” states Dick Contoni, classified activist, who helped make the guild victorious. At that time, Unit I was represented by the California School Employees
