This person doesn’t live in Lodi and he represents a
special interest group.
The LEA under the leadership of Nancy Cardone’s
sister-in-law made a FORMAL ENDORSEMENT of four BOE candidates. The LEA clearly asks district employees to show up at Nancy Cardone’s address
on Saturday to work on her political campaign. The LEA is running the Cardone campaign.
Cardone and Salvacion couldn’t negotiate an LEA contract because they have family members in the unit.
The other two can’t negotiate because there was a formal endorsement and
evidence that the LEA is running their political campaign.
This election isn’t about the LEA contact for the
reasons just mentioned.
So what is this really about? Fran Santos wants to be principal and other union
officers want promotions and sidebar agreements for themselves. They want the
rank and file teachers to do the dirty work for them.
