Union workers who hate unions. I don't get it.

64. As workers and unions decrease in power and influence, employers and management increase theirs...

And that is what has happened over the past several decades.

Thus, you get some workers identifying with the employers and management who stand to benefit from the complete destruction of unions (and all that that entails...lower wages, no bargaining power for the workers, little to no benefits....). Workers who identify with this think of themselves not as "Have nots" against "Haves" but as either "Have somes" or "Soon-to-have-more" individuals who think they will benefit from the destruction of unions.

In other words, they identify with the employers and people who have the attitude of "Screw you, I've got mine!", rather than putting aside their own personal self-interest (or what they may perceive that self-interest to be, regardless of how accurate that perception is) to stand in solidarity with their fellow working-class people.

However, you also get many more working class people who are alienated, disenfranchised, disgusted, or resigned to the fact that they have less and less influence in the American political system.

Combine all that, with the enormous amount of corporate propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation that has serve to undermine the credibility and relevance of unions in the eyes of many, and the huge Chamber of Commerce-led public-relations drive that has been unleashed on the American public (really since the Reagan years, but it has gotten worse more recently)...that's a toxic brew that doesn't bode well for unions or the interests of workers in general.
