I often hear of trade unions collectively bargain over redundancy packages but I don’t know how that works. How can a redundant employee bargain with an employer when they have nothing to bargain with if their job is already gone or in the process of being made redundant?

That will depend on the union.
The idea is that either, there will be some kind of package so the person laid off can have time to get back on their feet, being offered to move to a different location where there is a need of that trade in the same company, or it can be something like opportunities for re-training, basically move to a different position you get trained in. You are no longer redundant as you fill a needed position.
