The real winners in this are those sending out the invoices for the billable hour$.
For once I agree with a few things you said here....the union does a GREAT job with grievances and disciplinary hearings.

The lawyers are the only winners which is why I can't see that a protracted labor dispute at OUR expense is positive. I am surely not saying "settle", but expedience is clearly not high on the priority list.....from either side of the table.
