A joint application for mediation from a group this size will quickly get a mediator assigned. It’s up to the mediator and their schedule how much time they actually dedicate to us. With a wide gap and so many issues, a likely outcome will be a status meeting and instructions to continue negotiations without the mediator. They have limited time and will spend it where they can make the most difference.
