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?

In many cases it may cost less to commission a small private company for a short period of time to union bust and break up unions even for a large fee temporarily, as opposed to having to long-term increase employee wages.
In addition to that, ceding more ground to the union gives employees more control over how the business is run overall. The company wants to be the one holding the pursestrings, rather than lending some of that say over to employees, because the company’s interests are in raising capital for their shareholders. The employees interests are in having money for basic needs of life, as well as having more employees so they aren’t doing more labor for the same pay. The interests of both groups are in conflict, so employees do not want to allow the union to have more say, so it is in the interest of the company to do whatever they can to limit union/employee power.
