Maybe you have a completely different corporate dynamic but ours was constantly adversarial. The company figured the worst case was it would be grieved and presented to an arbitrator. Worst there is they would lose and have to do what they agreed to do by contract. So, essentially nothing to lose and a possible new precedent established.
I don't miss the hassle.
