Curious to know where you get your facts?
BUT At the state institution that I work for, the negotiations are between the HR department and the union representatives (also employees of our institution)...these people are all bascially co-workers! The negotiate over the use of the taxpayer's money...the same taxpayer who is not sitting in on these negotiations and therefore without a voice.
