Why do you say we don't need to kill unions?
Collective bargaining is an unconstitutional violation of the individual worker's right to make his own bargain with the boss. It was forced on us by FDR's threat to pack the Supreme Court, and it has no place in American law.
The right of private property, and to make your own deals with trading partners, is fundamentally and absolutely an individual right. Imposing any "democratic" voting process upon it is Communism.
Unions are no different than any other bands of gangsters. Their main function today is not to help their members, it is to extort dues and funnel them to Democratic politicians.
In the few cases where businesses still treat workers badly, the rightful, American way to respond to the problem is to boycott them. Not to use government or any other form of force.
I don't disagree with you as they are now, see:

Back when the US was going through their industrial revolution unions were important but now all they do it drive up prices for crappier products / services. Just look at American car companies (Ford is starting to step up their game now though) or the state of California; going bankrupt because of the public labor unions.
