Umpire union in general is against review measures. They fought against QuesTec very hard for that reason. This kind of thing is an essential piece for them in labor talks, and the QuesTec issue was finally resolved in the 2004 bargaining agreement after years of fights. Nowadays umpires don't really have personal strikezones anymore, thanks to that.

Overall, as I said big changes can only be introduced through the labor agreements, and some of the recent trends might be a result from the 2009 CBA.
