A bit unsure of how it's solely the unions fault that it takes 4 years for an arbitrator to hear the case.

  As the article discusses, a lot of the time stems from the procedures in the union contract rather than arbitrary delays. Mohamed's case takes 45 days to hear, and only 5 of those days can be scheduled per month, so that's 3/4 of a year just spent conducting the actual hearing. (Perhaps the hearings are excessively long, but it's hard to imagine that the school system is pushing for that.)

    Does only the union have input into the contract? Also (as you pointed out) 45 days at 5 days / non-summer month isn't 4 years which seems to be how long the case is taking (3 years of rubber room, 1 year of case).
