OPSEU stands for Ontario Public Service Employees Union. OPSEU/SEFPO workers are also grouped into divisions and sectors, based on the type of work they do.
Sectors allow locals to work together on issues of concern in their sector, and to coordinate their activities across the province. We belong to sector 3, the Broader Public Sector.
OPSEU/SEFPO divides Ontario into seven regions, which support their locals by geographic areas.
Each region elects three Regional Executive Board Members to represent their region on the OPSEU/SEFPO Executive Board.
The first digit of a local number tells which region it is in: Local 2100 is in Region 2.
Everyone in OPSEU/SEFPO belongs to a local, and that is the first point of contact for members in the union. OPSEU/SEFPO has more than 500 locals across the province. We are Local 2100 and one of OPSEU/SEFPO’s largest locals.
Our membership is comprised of over 4000 educational professionals (EA’s/DECE’s/CYP’s) employed by the Peel District School Board, and we advocate for children and are vital, contributing members of the school community. Our membership has grown and continues to grow alongside the enrollment of students with special needs. Our Local is also made up of Executive Officers who specialize in different areas and support members who may be experiencing issues in their workplace.
