But those talks fell apart after Republicans insisted that wages reach parity in 2009. Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.), who emerged a pivotal player this week in negotiations over the industry's future, said negotiators were "three words away" from striking a bipartisan compromise. Democrats were willing to reach parity, but not on such a swift timetable. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) declared talks at an impasse. "We have not been able to get this over the finish line," he said. "We have worked and worked…that's just the way it is."
