The demonizing of unions comes from business interests who have done an outstanding job for 50 yrs now convincing people to be against something that has for the most part fought for wages, rights and benefits for workers.

Maybe it was caused by the significant rise in government spending as a percentage of GDP during that time, which disproportionately hurts the middle class since they get less benefits than the poor and have less tax advice than the rich.
