The National: Strikers ordered back to class
TORONTO // Starting today, Nora Kharouba, a second-year psychology student, and more than 45,000 of her undergraduate peers return to their classes at York University for the first time in nearly three months.
A Nov 6 strike by the union representing 3,400 contract faculty and graduate students closed down Canada’s third-largest university in the city’s north-west.
Efforts by York’s administration and the union to negotiate a new contract did not produce an agreement, leading the province of Ontario on Thursday to legislate the strikers back to campus.
