CUPE leader Fred Hahn is refusing to step down after the union’s board asked him to leave his post due to his social media comments sparking anti-Semitism concerns.

The national arm of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) voted in favour of a motion earlier this week asking Hahn, the CUPE Ontario president and national vice-president, to resign.
