The local board has officially updated the policy to allow all teachers to coordinate benefits. This change corrects a long-standing inequity and ensures that our professional standards align with surrounding school districts. We succeeded because the collective resolve of our members forced a necessary conversation about fairness.
Whereas:
1. All Peel Elementary Teachers should be entitled to equal benefits; and
2. The current practice of forcing some teachers to waive their benefits is unfair; and
3. The Peel Elementary Teachers\' Local is out of step with other teacher groups (e.g., Peel Secondary, Halton Elementary, Toronto Elementary) which allow two spouses similarly employed to coordinate benefits within their plans;
We, the undersigned members of the Peel Elementary Teachers
Honestly I just want the same coverage as my friends in Halton. Simple as that.

Ridiculous that we are treated differently than the secondary teachers. Same job same board same benefits. Fix this already.

My wife and I both teach and this has been a huge headache for our family budget. About time they catch up to the other boards.

Totally unfair. Why should I have to waive my benefits just because my husband works here too? We both work hard.
