SHAWN HANIFEN FOR NSTU PRESIDENT
REAL ADVOCACY
Proven Leadership
The education system in Nova Scotia is in a crisis and is an unsustainable profession for our members.
​
As a proven leader at the local, regional and provincial level I have that experience and advocacy for our union.
​
Ad a provincial executive member I advocated for the critical needs of the membership regarding our working conditions, workplace violence, lack of supports/resources, workload and need for contracts to keep up with inflation.
Doing so a decade ago, yet today these are still obstacles in our profession and the root cause of 84% of our members thinking of leaving.
As a current local president for 1 out of 4 of our members, I have taken on our employer on workload, working conditions, safe schools, OH&S/workplace violence and as a strong advocate for our members.
As a local leader we have also supported members through crisis whether it be personal crisis (wildfires, financial, emotional , acts of violence, etc.) or professional crisis. I truly believe that your union should be there for you.
​
I am asking for your support to continue that mandate for all our members in the NSTU . As YOUR Provincial President, it is my commitment to be that leader for change.
​
On May 15th vote Shawn Hanifen for President for a Better NSTU.
