Can a employer remove an employee from the job union?
I would doubt it Yes, easily. A company's bargaining unit is a list of job titles agreed to BEFORE the representation election.

Often, not always, that means a promotion to management.

What do you do when a collective bargaining unit fails to represent you a member?
If a collective bargaining unit does not negotiate a contract that you agree with, you can vote not to accept it. If it is voted down, depending on your unions constitution, they could go back to negotiations, you could go on strike, or some will go to arbitration. If you are unhappy with negotiations' results, you could try to run for a position in your local union and be on the next negotiation committee.
What is labor union and what did they evolve?
A US union is a private association or club with internal rules. It is granted the legal right to attempt to "organize" a subset of workers at an employer, by asking them to join voluntarily. US law prohibits some workers from being a union member, so those NOT excluded at one workplace are called the bargaining unit. If 1/3 of the unit asks for a secret ballot election, the federal government oversees it after a campaign between the union and the employer. If 50% +1 of those who VOTE on ballot day vote for Union X, then everyone in the bargaining unit is in the union, and bargaining a contract begins.
