In early February, 14 Jewish members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) filed human rights complaints against their union, claiming it has been “advancing an anti-Israel agenda and causing a culture of discrimination and harassment against Jewish PSAC members.”
The union’s actions are “causing an environment of fear, hostility, alienation, and bias,” said Daniel Lublin, founding partner of Whitten & Lublin Employment Lawyers, which is representing the Jewish members.
Reports of hostility between those supporting and those opposing the Israel-Hamas conflict since Oct. 7 have filled headlines for months – and antisemitic incidents are on the rise in several Canadian cities, according to media reports.
