More than 9,000 employees of the provincially-owned Liquor Board of Ontario (LCBO ) walked off the job on 5 July after negotiations for a new collective agreement between their union and Mr Ford ’s government fell apart.
This week , the Ontario Public Services Employees Union (OPSEU) returned to the bargaining table with the province.
But talks resumed after another salvo from Mr Ford promised to accelerate plans to put canned cocktails in privately-run retailers.
Ontario 's LCBO has been locked in a dispute over privatisation of alcohol sales.
The union says the plan threatens the C$ 2.5bn ($ 1.83bn ; 1.42bn ) LCBO sales net for provincial coffers.
But Ford argues the plan will give small businesses a shot at the market while leaving the LCBO with a competitive advantage.
