One side will put forward a series of things they might want to discuss. Nothing unusual about that. The other side hasn't been involved in preparing that list. Sort of thing that goes on with any sort of negotiations. Eg If a Trade Union comes up with a set of proposals, have the employers been involved in preparing that list? Have they agreed to anything in that list? Will everything on that list automatically be implemented?
