Last week, supporters of the Zionist regime went on a new offensive against the President of CUPE Ontario and VP of CUPE National, Fred Hahn. Fred Hahn has been targeted by the bosses and Zionists for his solidarity with the Palestinian people, who have been suffering from a brutal escalation in Israel’s genocide after the Zionist entity was embarrassed by the Palestinian resistance’s October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood Operation.
What set off this most recent firestorm was Hahn posting a video on Facebook on August 11 linking Zionist participation in the recent Olympics to the Israeli bombing of residential buildings in the Gaza Strip. Hahn ended up deleting the video after a ferocious Zionist backlash, with Zionist members of CUPE such as Carrie Silverberg taking to the gutter press to whine that “I think I actually started crying, the emotion and sadness of how he continues to portray Jewish people.”
During the latest hue-and-cry over Hahn’s alleged “antisemitism,” Ontario Labour Minister David Piccini, who oversees the exploitation of Ontario workers, took the opportunity to harass Hahn, approaching him and stating that “you have to stop hating Jews.” The corrupt and union-busting Conservative Premier Doug Ford chimed in to state that Hahn “has been a bully for 20 years…. His bigoted comments, it’s unacceptable.”
The Zionists and labour-haters have been in a feeding frenzy over Hahn’s principled solidarity with the Palestinians, just as they have been over every expression of organized labour support for the Palestinian cause. It should come as no surprise that the Zionists and the Ontario capitalist class should feel such urgency to attack, smear, and defame union leadership. What came as a bigger disappointment was that the leadership of CUPE National, under National President Mark Hancock and National Secretary-Treasurer Candace Rennick, took the opportunity to bloc with the Zionists against Hahn.
On August 21, 2024, the public learned that CUPE National Executive Board had held, one day earlier, an emergency meeting over the controversy, where they decided to seek Hahn’s resignation from his position: General Vice President of CUPE National. The entire CUPE National Executive Board, with the exception of Yolanda McClean, voted against Hahn. (more...)
