    B.C. passes back-to-work legislation in bid to end health care strike DIRK MEISSNER, Canadian Press
    The labour minister said it was necessary to protect patients left hanging by the dispute, but union leaders were outraged, vowing before the bill was passed that picket lines would go back up in the morning.

    Bill 37 imposes a 15-per-cent wage rollback on 43,000 health-care workers, extends the work week by 1.5 hours and imposes no cap on the employer's ability to contract out union jobs to the private sector.

    Bill 37 was given third and final reading just before daybreak after a marathon debate in the legislature.
