Province, teachers to resume talks with conciliation

The province has asked for conciliation in its dispute with teachers.  The NSTU has rejected two tentative agreements, and could strike as soon as December 3rd.  The union was denied a mediator by the province earlier this month, but members have agreed to resume talks in light of the conciliation request.
