They have been angling for those things for years and unfortunately for them those items were nonstarters in today's market. They didn't read the room and negotiated entirely too hard.

A ceo walking out to a picket to shake hands after 5 yrs of no contract and still egg dripping from the faces of everyone involved with that TA isn't going to go well. That was predictable.
