People have the right to unionize. That's the point. That right is being attacked by demonizing the unions in the name of deficits.

This is an anti-union fight, because removing the last vestiges of unions, removes a great force standing in front of massive deregulation and removal of established worker rights. And that is what the biggest corporate donors want. They don't care about unions - they just want to demonize those evil teachers, firefighters and policemen so the public will support them in taking unions out.

There is a method to this madness on the part of the GOP. They even handed out "how to" sheets and ALEC hands out model laws for the Republican governors to pass.
