As a bargaining team member who has never done this before, I have to say last session was the most interesting one yet.  I thought our economic proposals might have generated a stir from the University's side, but somehow our non-economic proposals caused more of a commotion.  Dave has done a nice job describing it in vague terms.  Needless to say I look forward to the session(s) where some of these topic will come up again.  I would also like to mention how nice it is to have supporters come, especially when the University tries to say something outrageous.
