Looks like the company met the pay demands and the working condition changes the union asked for, yet the workers still aren't happy.
Is there something else up? Is the union not asking for the right things? Are there other unreported conditions or requests?
But also, it wouldn't be very surprising if the union drove a weaker bargain than the workers wanted. A lot of unions have gotten pretty toothless.
I would guess both factors are at play here.

> The plant, which is one of 30 in the U.S., employs about 850 people. Yet, officials said, only about 20 — approximately 2% — averaged over 60 hours per week.
> "Our records indicate 19 employees worked 84 hours in a given work week in 2021, with 16 of those as a result of employees volunteering for overtime and only 3 being required to work," the company said on Monday.
That's not even the normal qualified/hedging language, that's pretty cut and dry.
