What is a worker’s union? How does it internally work? How can a union make the affiliated company do stuff to benefit the union(why can"t a company just say: f*ck off to their demands)?

Also, a union has members that do the same job but don’t work at that specific company, so in this hypothetical dispute, not only do they lose all their unionised workers already on the pay role, but it’s harder to hire replacements as well.

Yes, some unions do that, but not all. Some are company or situation specific.
