A company with 100 employees losing an employee costs them ~1% of their revenue until a replacement can be found.

An employee losing their employer loses ~100% of their revenue until a replacement is found.

The two are nowhere near equivalent.

On the other hand, when employees unionize, a company with 100 employees stands to lose ~100% of their revenue if employees choose to strike. That puts the two sides on an even footing.
