USERRA has weak enforcement mechanisms. Typically ESGR will try to educate the offender but after that civil suit is often the best recourse, especially if the offender doesn't agree with how ESGR is interpreting the law (or wants to explore new boundaries).
As far as unions go...I would tend to prefer that unions not waste negotiating capital on things which are already covered by federal law. They can advocate, assist, and educate but probably don't need to pony up to have the CBA to mirror USERRA.
