The @NSPC plan involves making schools safer. It's also important to remember that two @NSTeachersUnion presidents praised Houston's governments. Houston's commitment to education is well-documented. Six education professionals are running for him, and he is the only third premier since the Second World War to attend an Annual Council of the Nova Scotia Teachers’ Union. Let's look at what @withwozney and @ryanlutes said about @TimHouston: “The premier shared his commitment to improving classroom conditions, to improving work-life balance for teachers and his desire to invest in public schools, and I think that spurred his team along into eventually getting an agreement with teachers.” Ryan Lutes, Queens County Community Radio, April 18, 2024 “Wozney says the NSTU’s relationship with the Houston government is faring much better.” – January 6, 2022, CKBW Radio “This is a government that at least has begun to take teacher feedback and input very seriously and I think that bodes well.” Paul Wozney, January 6, 2022, CKBW Radio “President Paul Wozney says the current government’s willingness to communicate and collaborate with teachers and their union is a welcome change.” May 1, 2022, NSTU website “He [Ryan Lutes] credited… the intervention of Houston, who spoke with the union bargaining team earlier this week, with pushing the talks ahead.” April 18, 2024, CBC "His [Tim Houston’s] direct involvement was absolutely helpful to get his side, his bargaining team moving in a more constructive way," [Ryan] Lutes said. April 18, 2024, CBC Ryan Lutes, president of the teachers union, said in an interview Thursday that the premier’s presence at the bargaining table seemed to move things along. “The premier was helpful,” Lutes said.
