Teilhet served the organization as president from 1968 to 1985.Students enrolled in four-year courses of study are eligible for $3000 scholarships; those enrolled in two-year courses of study are eligible for $1000.

AFT College Staff Guild, 1521A
Who We Are/History

The AFT College Staff Guild is 1200+ working people united to improve our jobs and our communities.

AFT Local 1521 Established 1983

During its 25-year history, the AFT College Guild, Local 1521 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. At that time, Unit I was represented by the California School employees Association (CSEA) and was the only unit in the Los Angeles Community College District not represented by an AFL/CIO union.

Classified and faculty joyfully celebrated the AFT victory. Local 1521 was certified the bargaining agent for the unit on August 23, 1983.

The AFT College Guild was the first AFT/CFT community college Faculty local in California to include classified brothers and sisters. the newly formed Staff Guild continues to be the largest unit of community college classified employees in California, currently representing 1000 Clerical/Technical employees. The organization of the classified unit into Local 1521 set a precedent for organizing other classified units within community colleges in California.
The College Guild appointed Sandra Lepore as Executive Secretary-Treasurer for the new unit. The first order of business was to launch a membership drive and immediately get new members to sign up.

In October 1983 the first election of chapter chairs/delegates and alternates for the Staff Guild Executive Board was held. On November 15 the Staff Guild elected Barbara Kleinschmitt president, Birt Tidwell Vice President, and Jeanne Bascom Secretary.

In July 2001, the Staff Guild became its own AFT chartered local. The name now is AFT College Staff Guild Local 1521A.
