Welcome to the El Camino College Federation of Teachers Website.

The El Camino College Federation of Teachers has the distinction of being the oldest American Federation of Teachers local in California.  Its charter was granted November 4, 1960.   From that time forward your Federation Executive Board has worked tirelessly to ensure that El Camino College Faculty mantains a strong employment contract and excellent working conditions.

The El Camino College Federation of Teachers represents you. Your union has a history of negotiating good salaries and benefits for full-time and part-time faculty members. We hope that you will fully participate in your union. Membership allows you to take part in our local’s elections and entitles you to the benefits offered by our parent organizations, the California Federation of Teachers (CFT) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). A listing of the many member benefits can be found at www.cft.org/resources/member.html. (Please note: All faculty employees must pay a monthly "representation service fee." In order to be a member of ECCFT, a higher fee is required). 

Your union leadership is very interested in hearing from you. If you would like to discuss membership, to express concerns, opinions, or thoughts, to voice your complaints or compliments, or to just chat, please contact us. There are several ways to communicate with us, satisfying even the shyest faculty member. You can contact your Division Representative to the Federation (see enclosed list). You can contact one of the Co-Presidents of ECCFT, Angela Simon (Ext. 3559; This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ), or Don Brown (Ext. 3722, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ), the Executive Director of ECCFT, Nina Velasquez (Ext. 3184, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ), or any member of the Executive Board.
