how else are we to interpret a "corrosive us-against-them dynamic" Unions don't get involved unless there is violation of workers rights. And believe me anti-union does mean anti-workers-rights.
"Many rights of workers are protected by legislation" - sure but employees are rarely able take the case to court without union backing.

In several countries where I have lived you don't need a court for industrial conflicts, there are arbitrators, mediators, and small courts which deal with such items.

Even before such a hearing can take place the employee can be subject to pressure and bullying and without representation in disciplinary meetings and the like they often end up quitting, or accepting treatment/warnings/disciplinary action they do not deserve. Without a union it will always be a David and Goliath story, but with a much more realistic ending.
