It's simple. Money.
They really believe that theirs is a God given right to make a profit. And anyone who gets in the way of that is an enemy. Conservatives make this illogical assumption that if the economy is left alone unfettered by government interference, then everyone makes out. Time and time again, greed keeps the wealth from getting to the masses.
If we assume that man is born into sin, then we must assume that, since business and corporations consist of flawed humans, that corporate and business interests are pre-determined towards greed. If left unchecked the wealth will concentrate in the hands of a few at the expense of the many.
Labor unions are a check on the sinful nature of commerce by demanding a fair share of the profits. Conservatives view labor unions are interfering with the accumulation of wealth. So just like any other drain on the bottom line, they must go. It is not a philosophical argument. It is purely money. Anyone that believes otherwise is either ignorant or willfully submitting to the unfettered capitalism arguments in a hopes of attracting wealth for themselves.
