What really forced Ford to back off was the solidarity almost every single union in the province showed when that legislation was passed. Strike votes across unions where being held (even with unions that endorsed him) and if he stuck his guns the whole province would of shut down with a general strike.
I think the bigger take here is that we need all unions standing up for each other, and be willing to show solidarity where it matters most
