Toronto Star: At last! York strike is over
The longest running strike at an English speaking Canadian university has come to an end.
The Liberal government, with the support of the Progressive Conservatives, voted for Bill 145 today, ending the three-month long York University strike.
The vote was 61 for and 8 against. All the nay votes came from members of the New Democratic Party who had vigorously opposed an imposed settlement to the strike.
The bill was introduced by Labour Minister Peter Fonseca. Royal assent – the final stamp of approval to make the bill law – was received at 1 p.m.
