Yes, since April, when it was declared basically old CBA sections were TA (with minor clerical changes) and that few bigger issues were left to be negotiated still.   And, nothing has changed since!   Meaning, nothing has changed since starting the bargaining process, except for a few clerical changes.  You are a year + into this and  you are essentially "back to book" (i.e., you've made no real bargaining progress)

It might be fun to pretend differently, and place youself on a pedestal to feed your ego, but either you've gotten nowhere -OR- you made zero progress.

With the keyword being "OR" here!
