CUPE Calls for Fred Hahn's Resignation
News summary

Fred Hahn, president of CUPE Ontario and a general vice-president of CUPE's national executive board, is facing calls to resign from his national position after reposting a controversial video on social media. The video depicted an Olympic diver with a Star of David tattoo transforming into a bomb, which was criticized as antisemitic by Jewish members of CUPE. Hahn has apologized, stating his intent was to highlight perceived double standards in Olympic participation, not to conflate Jewish identity with state actions. Despite Hahn's apology and removal of the video, the CUPE national board expressed a loss of confidence in his ability to represent the union. Ontario Premier Doug Ford also condemned Hahn, though CUPE denied their decision was influenced by Ford. Hahn has rejected the resignation call, emphasizing his democratic election and commitment to union work.
