LEA Charges Lompoc Board With Unfair Labor Practices
The Lompoc Education Association filed an unfair labor practices charge in Los Angeles against the Lompoc Unified School District Board of Trustees over blocking representation and bargaining rights under the Rodda Act. LEA accuses the district of silencing members while negotiations wait on EERB decisions and an exclusive bargaining agent. Background notes say a dead council and tentative use of the CEC as a vehicle complicate salary talks and district rights disputes.
