I positively encouraged the union reps to attend when I encountered this problem. It usually stems from poor past experience prior to you joining.
What I did was make it clear what they could do to help and what I considered to be the boundaries between our advice and what could be negotiated with management. Once they felt involved, I found that they became useful contributors. They were clear about rights and realities and helped to make client expectations realistic.
