Talks are resuming between Ontario colleges and the union representing 12,000 striking faculty, after both sides faced increasing pressure from students, the post-secondary minister — and even the premier — to get a deal. A provincially appointed mediator asked the parties to return to the bargaining table Thursday. News of the return to the bargaining table came just before college students began a rally outside Queen’s Park on Wednesday.
