B.C. Human Rights Tribunal to expedite antisemitism complaint against teachers union

The teachers claim the union 'ostracized' them either because they're Jewish or they hold 'currently unpopular views' about Jews, Israel or the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas

VANCOUVER — A group of teachers says British Columbia’s Human Rights Tribunal has agreed to expedite a complaint of antisemitism against their union as more allegations surface.

Vancouver labour lawyer Paul Pulver, who represents BC Teachers Against Antisemitism, filed the complaint this year over what he called the “erasure of Jewish and Zionist voices and opinions” within the BC Teachers’ Federation and at members’ workplaces.
