Join Jonathan Waite, a candidate for President for the Manitoba Teachers’ Society, for this podcast, a different kind of conversation. Created as a way to conduct a job interview with the more than 16,000 MTS members who make our organization strong. In each episode, Jonathan will share his vision for our collective future, the challenges he believes we need to address, and how his leadership can help us move forward. Think of this as your chance to get to know not just his platform, but the person behind it.

The focus in episode six is union values, unity, and you.  Jonathan talks about his views on what it means to be part of a union, what it takes to lead a union, and the importance of unity of division.
