Like, for example, the reality that you can't hang the "burdensome" due process entirely on the union. There are always at least two signatories to a bargaining agreement - labor AND management. Two parties with equal responsibility for the agreement (and bargained and agreed upon in good faith). So, if there's some burdensome due process, it doesn't land entirely at the feet of the union. Management had to sign off on that process as well. Kind of like GM management complaining about the size of the retiree benefits. They agreed to them 25 years ago, so it's not the union's fault if management didn't financially plan for it.
