Possibly. I think having enough of a unified front to present to the company that they think that a challenge might meet with bigger problems down the road.
If I recall correctly, the negotiation committee that was originally in place was working from prior grievences under the 98 contract to eliminate some of these issues. New administration decided a different tactic was in order.
