On October 7, Jewish OPSEU members launched legal proceedings at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal against their union for discrimination and antisemitism. It is the third union (after CUPE and PSAC) to be taken to a human rights tribunal for such reasons. 1/2

🧵1/ We are Jewish members of the labour movement. For decades, we've been tireless advocates organizing for the rights of working people across 🇨🇦. But for the last ten months, our identities as Jews have been under assault in the movement we've dedicated our lives to advancing.

Enough is enough.
Jewish workers across the country are fed up with the labour movement being hijacked by attacks on Jews, including Jewish workers.
For the good of our movement, Fred Hahn must step down.

Jewish workers deserve better.

On Yom Kippur while Jews were gathering with their families to begin observing the most solemn day of the year, a post appeared by an OPSEU member actively promoting a centuries-old antisemitic trope in response to the recent Human Rights filing. 1/4

🧵3/ Damaging actions and words from CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn have brought us to a breaking point. The rhetoric he’s deployed, using our movements and dues as a vehicle for hatred is unacceptable, damaging to labour solidarity, and devastating to Jewish workers across 🇨🇦.

🧵2/ The Jewish Labour Committee was originally founded nearly a century ago as a critical response to Nazism within the labor movement. Today, we feel a fierce urgency to revive this tradition and organize Jewish workers to defend our community from vile hatred once again.

Jewish Canadians have long been at the center of the struggle for justice for working people.

It would have been good if
@LindaMcQuaig
had bothered to talk to Jewish CUPE members and ask them how they feel about Fred Hahn.
Or, mentioned the human rights proceedings against CUPE initiated by Jewish members.
It’s simply irresponsible not to.

For over a century, the goals of the labour movement and Jewish liberation have been intertwined.
Don’t let antisemitism set us back.

CJLC is concerned that CUPE has adopted a one-sided, polarizing narrative that does nothing to advance Palestinian self-determination nor peace in its recent “International Solidarity Report”.

CUPE Ontario’s executive board centers Fred Hahn, while willfully ignoring the many Jewish members of CUPE that Fred Hahn’s behaviour has harmed.
One for all and all for one is meaningless if it ignores the damage done to vulnerable Jewish workers.
We demand better. Join us.
NEW: CUPE Ontario executive board issues statement of support for Pres. Fred Hahn, says it passed motions this wk “in support of Brother Hahn as both CUPE General VP and as CUPE Ontario's president. We passed these motions as recognition of the democratic will of CUPE members.”

It is also an attempt to shame Jewish union members exercising their right to file last week’s complaint. The CJLC calls on JP Hornick to condemn this post, and to ensure that this and any similar posts on any OPSEU related media site are promptly removed. 4/4

The promoted material, written by a former CUPE Ontario President, accused the “Israel lobby” of attacking unions with “false claims of antisemitism” and “tarnishing” their reputations. The organizations were warned that the “lobby” will come for them too. 2/4

Nowhere does the writer define this "lobby" because it is fictitious, and antisemitic.
This post is an attempt to intimidate, while under the watch of OPSEU’s president JP Hornick at a time when antisemitism has skyrocketed in Canada, and is unacceptable. 3/4
