What should the union have done? Accept less than they could negotiate for?
Sometimes it makes sense to accept less than you can negotiate for: (a) you don't want to kill the goose laying the golden eggs and (b) that overly hard negotiation can mean you're walking around with an "Outsource Me" target on your back.
Get what you want when you can get it, but remain aware of the consequences.
