I have reached out to many teachers working other
districts. Some have worn black on
Fridays (dress clothes). Some have
attended rallies outside of Board meetings.
These appear to be common actions by the unions when working under an expired
contract.
However,
teachers in other districts were quick to set themselves apart from what the
Lodi teacher union is doing. Their unions are NOT running the campaigns
and Facebook pages of Board candidates. Their
unions are NOT walking the streets and campaigning for Board candidates.
The latter actions raise all types of ethical issues. They require new categories of conflicts to
be sent to the SEC when invoking “doctrine of necessity”.
The
union and its endorsed candidates have compromised the Board.
