Talks between striking faculty and Ontario’s colleges resumed Thursday afternoon, after the two sides met with the premier and post-secondary minister. “Students have been in the middle of this strike for too long and it’s not fair,” she said in a statement. Striking college teachers across the province rejected the latest offer so the strike -- the longest in their history -- will continue. “This truly is a huge victory for working people.” He and chief faculty negotiator J.P. Hornick blamed the colleges for drawing out the strike. The offer faculty voted on included provisions to set up a provincial task force looking at the issue of full-time staffing ratios as well as the growing use of precarious, contract positions at colleges, considered one of the union’s key issue.
