The Eastern Conference rivals were scoreless until the 57th minute when Union midfielder Vincent Nogueira backheeled in an attempt from Cristian Maidana.
Forward C. J. Sapong tapped in a pass from defender Fabinho five minutes later.
"First and foremost, it's a big accomplishment," Union coach Jim Curtin told reporters of his side's first win in eight games at the Red Bulls home ground.
"I think we did a good job of getting through that first 15 minutes and put a play or two together in the second half to get a goal."
In San Jose, Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski became the ninth player to score 100 MLS goals, as he salvaged a 1-1 draw for his side against Orlando City SC.
Orlando's Kaka opened the scoring in the 64th minute before Wondolowski levelled in the 68th.
