Though not much measured success occurred, talks being in person and lasting of a significant amount of time in is a starting point.
FIVE HOURS!!!!!
Obviously, Monday’s negotiations were still headlined by how far both sides were part on the major discussion points, including the points that were not even discussed. However, the fact that discussions happened in person, with the amount of players that were also involved, is at least a starting point with negotiations expected to continue today.
Of course, the value of yesterday’s length of meeting time means nothing if progress is not made today.
