Political career

Bruseker was elected to the

. The election was remarkable because in the previous election the Liberal candidate in the riding finished last; 7000 new voters came out to vote for Bruseker; and the vote for Cassin remained almost unchanged from the previous election. Bruseker was re-elected in the 1993 Alberta general election. He defeated Progressive Conservative challenger Harley Torgerson by a few hundred votes to keep his seat. Bruseker was defeated in his bid for a third term by Progressive Conservative Greg Melchin who won the riding by 3000 votes.^[2]

After leaving politics Bruseker became president of the Alberta Teachers' Association. During his three terms as president of the Alberta Teachers' Association, his greatest accomplishment was the negotiation of five-year agreement with the government of Alberta, the longest agreement in the educational sector prior to this date. This contract resulted in the elimination of the $2.1 billion unfunded liability of the Alberta Teachers' Retirement Fund; in the pegging of salary increases for teachers from 2007 to 2012 to the Alberta Average Weekly Earnings index as calculated by Statistics Canada; and in five years of labour peace in the provincial education sector.
