Chris Clarke for D14 TBU President

With four years as Vice President and a decade serving as Health and Safety Officer, I bring extensive experience and unwavering dedication to our union. My background includes successfully managing grievances, representing members, and navigating challenging conversations with senior administration, trustees and principals.

APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP

My approach to leadership is built on three core principles: empathy for our members’ concerns, strategic problem-solving, and decisive action plans. I’ve invested in my professional development through numerous courses in labor law to ensure I can effectively advocate for your rights.

LEADERSHIP STYLE

My proactive leadership style has allowed me to anticipate and address issues before they escalate. I’ve established multiple collaborative platforms with KPR that have successfully integrated union voices into board processes where they were previously absent.

BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS

I understand that maintaining good relationships with local administrators, while important, doesn’t guarantee your concerns reach decision-makers. As your President, I commit to ensuring the board recognizes when their strategic goals fail to align with your frontline experiences. I will never assume all will be fine.

Vote for experienced, empathetic, and effective leadership that puts members first. I have the experience to be an effective TBU President. I have a resume of results that have improved working conditions at every worksite. I am ready to be TBU President.
