The point of a union is that if you fire some of them, you'd have to fire all of them.

Collective bargaining still works just fine; that gives them more power than individual employees acting individually.
Not if many of them are afraid of being fired by speaking up. You know, the very people who need a union.
"Unions are an incredible tool, and I'm in favor of them. That doesn't mean I'm in favor of laws enshrining them into disproportionately more power than they already wield."
But without those laws, they have no power. So you've just admitted you are not in favor of unions.
