Education workers and teachers across Ontario are coming together for a province-wide Day of Action in support of publicly funded education.
OPSEU/SEFPO members will stand alongside ETFO, OSSTF, OECTA, AEFO, OSBCU, CSCSO, EWAO and OCEW. Together, we represent more than 275,000 education workers and teachers across the province.
Our contracts have expired, but our message is united: Ontario’s schools need proper funding, adequate staffing, and working conditions that support both students and the workers who make public education possible.
At a time when the Ford government is trying to divide education workers, we are choosing to stand together.
Mark September 16 on your calendar. More details will be shared as they become available!
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.
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 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.
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.
