Why do they prefer spending time and money in anti-union law firms instead of investing in their workers? Also why are labor rights up to discussion in these times?

It is cheaper.
Hiring a bunch of Pinkertons to beat workers up who complain or hiring a PR firm to make anti-union tweets or similar tactics cost money, but not as much as paying workers what they want and deserve.
Even if it costs more at the moment, the cost of paying your workers a living wage adds up over months and years.
Also ant-union actions can be localized. You only have to spend money where things look worst, while once you have a union in place that will spread to the entire workforce. It will even spread to competitors and thus on occasions entire industries will band together to stamp out workers rights and employers will act in solidarity with one another against a common enemy: the workers.
Rather on factory making a loss due to not giving workers what they want than an entire industry making slightly less profit. the rich will take care of their own.
