In the gathering storm of anti-Israel protests on North American university campuses it might be news to many Canadians and Americans that these activities are being supported and even financed by seemingly unrelated organizations. Take, for example, the ongoing encampment by protesters at King’s College Circle in the middle of the University of Toronto. One would expect students, professors, teaching assistants and others who work for the university. But how many Canadians would know that a leading player in the encampment is the United Steelworkers’ (USW) Toronto Area Council?
