In line with your reasoning discussed here, can we make following inference?
Safety regulations were generally not being enforced in white lead factories, where there were no unions (and little prospect of any) to pressure employers to comply with safety regulations.
= Where there were unions to pressure employers to comply with safety regulations, safety regulations were enforced in white lead factories.
=Unions succeeded in pressuring employers to comply with such safety regulations.

Thanks in advance.
Belal.
The inference in red is not quite right.
The sentence above implies the following:
In unionized industries, unions pressured employers to comply with safety regulations.
But there were no unions in white lead factories.
As a result, safety regulations were not generally enforced in white lead factories.
