TORONTO — A back-to-work bill that would end a strike by college faculty in Ontario appears on track to be pushed through the legislature on Sunday. The bill cleared another hurdle Saturday as the Liberals and New Democrats pointed fingers at each other over how the legislation has been handled. The accusation drew a sharp response from NDP Leader Andrea Horwath who accused Matthews of being irresponsible. Ontario Public Service Employees Union President Warren (Smokey) Thomas said the union tried to get the colleges’ bargaining team back to the table. “The colleges’ bargaining team has not received any request from the provincially appointed mediator about bargaining this weekend,” he said in a written statement.
