I think in addition to the fact that there's no progress to report, I think the MTA is very concerned that we are down to the wire. Obviously the MTA does not have any deadline on these talks. We have said we will continue to negotiate for as long as it's fruitful.
The MTA is quite concerned that we are now down to the last day before the union-imposed deadline.

There is some notion ... that peace was bought. There is nothing that is further from the truth.
The entire process itself takes months. This part of the process probably should take about 10 days.
This is a one-day press tactic, but it's not meaningful.
