Collective
Agreement
OPSEU stands for Ontario Public Service Employees Union. OPSEU/SEFPO workers are grouped into divisions and sectors, based on the type of work they do. 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. The Union is governed by OPSEU’s Constitution, and this document outlines the rules and regulations supporting the Union structure.
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 our vital, contributing members of the school community. Our membership has grown and continues to grow alongside the enrolment 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.
Communication is key for the membership to receive up-to-date and valuable information, and members are encouraged to sign up for the mailing list as Union business cannot be conducted on Peel Board email. Critical information is communicated through the mailing list.
Public education is foundational to everyday life in Ontario and essential to building an equitable society. Years of underfunding by the Conservative government have already strained our schools, disproportionately harming the most marginalized students.
The Peel District School Board is choosing to pass that pressure directly into classrooms through cuts that reduce front-line supports. We are here to say enough is enough. This campaign raises awareness about the real impacts of funding cuts in Peel and demands different choices that put students, classrooms, and front-line supports first.
