Stefan Karlsson tries to correct what he sees as a few misconceptions on the anti-union argument in response to what the left-wing Economic Policy Institute recently published.

His basic point:

The case against unions has never involved claims about lowering productivity as far as I know. Instead, the case against unions has centered on how excessive union wage demands will make low productivity workers unemployed.

Of course there is more to it and it involves the formulae by which economists arrive at the answer to the question. But it is worth reading his short explanation just for future reference.
