In most cases CEOs of companies of the size of CBS do not negotiate. it's a long food chain of people under them who keep their position and even elevate by how low they can keep the employee's gains to a minimal. By the time you get to the table you're usually dealing with a person from human resources and a couple of lawyers. I have a contract with the signature of twenty-seven names, that I faced across the table, and I can guarantee none of them were CEOs. Many of the members I represented had their own agents and never adhered to the contract. The contracts were to obligate the union to supply an employee to the employer at the price negotiated. If they wanted a specific member, they were on their own. Athletes are people and go through the same process, just on a larger scale. CEO's in most cases keep their hands clean and have underlings deal with it. Both sides have their lawyers or agents, and both have an idea what the parameters are. You push them passed theirs and they push you passed yours the hope is that that you can meet somewhere. I've had negotiations last a day and one that lasted months.
