> Why the focus on unions, which are very weak in the U.S.?
Weak in general, yes; but very strong in the public sector. They push through all sorts of measures because they control a large voting block (and often public sector unions support each other without questions; for example, if the fire fighters union is pushing for something, you can bet the police officers union will support it too). This really magnifies their power.
