Thanks for the context.

"Management was basically incredibly incompetent, for a long time, and were so unfair to employees at the company that they felt this was the only option"

Why not just quit and get a new role? I don't really understand how being unionized under terrible management is desirable.

Perhaps because the employees actually care about the company they work for and want to continue working there, but also want to feel like they're producing value. A company is more than its management.
