Confirmed from someone in the room: Donatelli sent one of the executive admins to "monitor" the meeting. He was a last-minute add-on. The scheduling vice chair was also up from ATL, had been scheduled previously.

Quotes from the C1 reps as shared with me: the company is "overreaching." "Comany's shopping cart getting full...ours is not." "Company needs to negotiate in better faith.". There are apparently a few good things in the deal. Money hasn't been discussed. Reps not happy about the unsigned hit piece from the comm chairman after the C1 update.

Apparently the reps said they remained optimistic, but I can't see how after the 44 update. That was brutal.

Why is Dalpa still sitting at the table? Why not take a few weeks off? What's the rush??
