Making it compulsory is bad as that means everybody will be forced to pay membership costs and can increase unemployment.
Let companies decide what workers they want.

Corporate profits are good; they mean more return to shareholders.
If living costs raise and the quality of available jobs worsens (e.g. less job security) but your wage stays the same that's objectively a loss.

True, but that hasn't happened.
Let companies manipulate their workforce as much as they want?. It's THEIR workforce after all?
I'd say keeping your workers confused about their rights was a form of unscrupulous control. Hurts the bottom line when employees want things they are entitled to by law.
It seems like Uber is making drivers listen to anti-union propaganda.
What you're saying is "companies should hold a lot of power over workers." Management is much more powerful than an individual worker and collective bargaining via unions seeks to be a check on that power. Why is that so undesirable?
Maybe the company thinks unions are inefficient or doesn't like the collective bargaining power (in extreme cases it resembles a monopoly). Companies and workers are entitled to their opinion. Workers can choose to work at companies that allow unions.
Of course management (multiple people) should be more powerful than an individual worker.
The ones who cost the least, probably.
