The Logansport Education Association (LEA) is the teachers union of Logansport Community School Corporation (LCSC). In labor terms, the LEA is the Exclusive Representation: the union selected to represent the members of the bargaining unit (in our case, the group of employees under the Certified Master Contract). As a labor union, the LEA exists to maintain and improve employer-employee relationships by discussing issues, solving problems, and monitoring fair labor practices. Membership with the LEA is a package deal with the Indiana State Teachers Association (ISTA) and the National Education Association (NEA), which are the state-level and national-level teachers unions, respectively.
