I shouldn't really have to, because it's basically the conclusion of the rest of my post, but I will anyways.
UBI increases worker leverage. You disagree, for reasons I don't understand, because it seems self-evident to me that it's easier to quit/threaten to quit your job when you have a guaranteed income to fall back on, and that gives you power. I think you believe that increased leverage benefits workers, because you've essentially stated as much in your valuation of unions, and that you value that leverage highly. Therefore, I'd expect you to support UBI because it's logical based on what I think I know about you. Perhaps if you think of UBI as a form of strike pay, you'll see what I mean.
