Affiliated Organizations
Retired Teachers Organization
In June 2005, the Retired Teachers Association became the Retired Teachers Organization of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union. Its objectives, membership and operating constitution, with appropriate procedures, were incorporated into a new constitution approved by the Provincial Executive of the NSTU. The Retired Teachers Organization has its own executive, executive committee, standing committees, and branch locals throughout the province. Its mandate is to work within the NSTU to support retired teachers. Its mission advances, promotes and protects the welfare of its members.
