We're continuing to work towards getting an agreement prior to Friday's deadline.

We never stopped negotiating. We are working toward reaching a consensual agreement by the end of the month.

We continue to work with all of our unions in hopes of reaching a consensual agreement before the end of the year.

Our situation is not one where we can negotiate indefinitely to reach an agreement.

This announcement is really just one piece of a comprehensive agreement. It is not the answer to all of our ills.
