Did Daniel Trilling just make his statement up?

What evidence does Daniel Trilling have for saying "trade union membership on average results in higher wages"?

The evidence I have seen shows that on average wages for unionised personnel are slightly lower than those for non-unionised personnel in comparable occupations (and this becomes even more marked when adjusting for the generally higher salaries in the public sector).

Private sector non-unionised salaries are higher than private sector unionised salaries.

Public sector non-unionised salaries are higher than public sector unionised salaries.
