Globe and Mail: NDP stalls back-to-work bill for York University strikers
TORONTO — Back-to-work legislation to end the strike at York University stalled yesterday, prompting calls for compensation for the 50,000 students caught in the middle of the 12-week dispute.
At an emergency Sunday session of the Ontario legislature, members of the New Democratic Party denied Premier Dalton McGuinty the unanimous consent needed to rush through a vote that would have forced York’s 3,500 striking teaching assistants and contract faculty back to work as early as today.
