If they had treat workers right to begin with there never would have been unions. Blaming unions is like blaming the rape victim when the rapist complains about the bad conditions in prison. Um it's HIS fault he's there.

You're missing the point that the anti-union types try to make. In their minds, unions are single-handedly responsible for 'wage inflation' across the board, and for creating a fat, lazy worker that feels entitled to a better life as a reward for labour... what you and I might call the 'middle class'.
The econo-darwinists dislike the middle class, as it represents an unnatural state in a pure capitalist state. It should really be no surprise that the median income and average income in the US have grown farther and farther apart as unions become less and less influential.
