industrial agreement

Has anybody have a take on the status quo of the IA. It all seems very strange. I know that it is a hugely important document and probably very complex but basically it is 5 months after it was originally ment to be signed. That is a long time. If things were going pear shaped the SP would be going south therefore I can surmise that things are going OK. But this time frame is way over the top and I`m wondering for what reason. Also the fact that there is absolute silence from the Co. itself relating to where we are at. Interested to read everyone`s take on the state of play,without any cr_p please.
