Your Union. Your Voice. Your Rights.
Welcome to Local 2100
OPSEU Local 2100 proudly represents more than 4,000 Educational Assistants (EAs), Designated Early Childhood Educators (DECEs), and Child and Youth Care Practitioners (CYCPs) employed by the Peel District School Board. This is your union, built by members, for members.
United & Stronger Together
When we stand together, we build power. When we act collectively, we create change. When we support one another, we strengthen our Local.
Guiding our Local are five dedicated Executive Officers, elected by and accountable to the membership they serve. They are not just representatives; they are your colleagues, your advocates, and your voice. United in purpose, they bring knowledge, dedication, and heart to everything they do, ensuring our Local remains strong, informed, and ready to act.
As essential frontline members of our school community, we play a critical role in supporting students’ academic achievement, personal safety, and well-being. We are equally committed to the safety, dignity, and empowerment of our own members, ensuring that those who support others are themselves supported.
Through dedication and shared advocacy, we champion fairness, inclusion, and empowerment across our workplaces. Together, we strive to influence policy, drive meaningful lasting change, and build a strong and united Local where every member can thrive.
Our Collective Agreement: Our Strongest Tool
Our Collective Agreement is the foundation of our strength. By understanding and upholding it, we protect member rights, secure fair working conditions, and ensure both our members and students receive the quality support they deserve. Knowledge of your rights is one of the most powerful tools you have, because an informed member is an empowered member.
Our Strength is Rooted in Solidarity
By supporting one another and acting collectively, we enhance our ability to defend our rights and improve our workplaces. Every member plays a crucial role in sustaining that unity. Through advocacy, activism, and solidarity, we continue working together to advance education, protect our profession, and strengthen our collective future.
About Us
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.
