In a statement announcing the complaint, BC Teachers Against Antisemitism claims the union's leadership caused 'trauma and fear' among members who have been 'intimidated and shamed' by colleagues.

VANCOUVER — A group of British Columbia teachers has launched a human rights complaint against their union, accusing the BC Teachers' Federation of having "engaged in and enabled antisemitism."

"They're concerned about people retaliating against them. They're concerned about what they've experienced already and the potential for that to get ratcheted up," he said. "In the circumstances, these teachers are extremely upset. They're fearful." The statement said the union has "ostracized" the teachers because they're Jewish or because they hold "currently unpopular views" about Jews, Israel and Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks.

The statement said the complaint details more than two dozen examples of antisemitism either caused or enabled by the teachers' union.The statement said that before the meeting, the union's president sent members anti-racism training materials that didn't mention antisemitism but provided a link to material including a poster that said "Zionists F*ck Off."
