If unionization were bad for employees, I'd expect the employers to be able to make that case persuasively. If they don't, I assume there's not much of a case to be made.

Isn't that what they're doing, which is why the prevalence of private sector unions in the US has been on the decline?
The union leadership, of course, describes the employers making their case as "union busting" and "anti-union propaganda".
If something was bad, why would you take the existence of opposition to it as evidence of it being good?
Suppose unionization was bad for both employers and employees. You would certainly expect employers to oppose that. Even if it was totally neutral for employers and bad for employees, they would oppose unionization at their own company because it would make it more difficult for them to attract and retain quality employees.
