The mediation process is due to start next Tuesday.

We will sign the deal this afternoon. Workers are satisfied and happy.

We didn't want to reach that point, but the company is not ready to give up on anything.

With the company's radical position, we couldn't agree on a new contract, so hopefully with a third party involved it will help.

That rule is due to be considered by the NCAA through its normal governance process over the next three-to-six months. That issue is on the table, and the Division I Board of Directors will take it up likely in October but no later than January.

I want you to know that when I go into the booth next Tuesday I am going to cast my vote for you.
