In general unions are pro health and safety procedures and have no objection to work quality procedural checks either. It's the cost cutting culture imported from the non-Boeing crowd imported post merger that is at fault here. You're simply having a cheap shot at unions here rather than making any observation of depth.

I could be wrong. The part we do have evidence about is who did the work - it’s the union workers. It seems to me like some think the people doing the problematic work somehow don’t share in accountability at all. I think it is unlikely that only management or executives or the “company” or whoever is solely at fault.
