OPSEU silent as members raise alarm over union banner at anti-Israel, pro-Houthi protest

Some members of Ontario’s public workers’ union are calling on leaders to distance the union from recent anti-Israel demonstrations where the union’s flags were prominently on display, but they say their concerns are so far being ignored.

Last week, several Jewish and non-Jewish members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) wrote to president JP Hornick. The members urged Hornick to explain OPSEU’s participation at a Toronto anti-Israel protest on Jan. 14. Video of the event showed marchers chanting in support of the Iranian-backed Houthis, a terrorist group whose motto is “curse the Jews.” The also asked Hornick to clarify the union’s support for Jewish members.

I am all for crushing our Houthi public servants.
