Private unions have been losing membership over the years and have decreased in strength because too many companies have gone out of business as a result of union demands.
Collective bargaining is a 50-50 proposition. It is pure, libertarian, self-interested capitalism at it's finest. Each side comes to the table looking out for it's own financial self-interests.

You must also blame the companies for being terrible businessmen, bargaining and agreeing to pay for things it turns out they could not afford, as their bad business decisions about their companies caused their companies to lose money.

Blaming the unions because businessmen sucked at being businessmen doesn't really fly.
