Strictly looking at pay, I think 9% is pretty fair.
I don't know what else is a stumbling block in the negotiations, but to me striking over that 3% is greedy. (again, just my opinion.)

Inflation over the past 3 years has been 13.5%. Asking for 13.5% over 3 more years basically is asking for wages to be stable instead of taking a cut. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.
