Unions absolutely can be blamed.
Of course it would have been better to deal with the fallout at the time. But hello, your (and my) political system creates this kind of "pay it forward" situation. In fact, the whole of the USA is probably in this kind of a situation and I don't see your populace screaming about it too much.
The simple fact is unions like big corporations live to extract money by any and all means. When you have unions exerting political pressure, buying ads, supporting opponents, etc, then union members deserve what they get when their union extracts too much in their parasitic disgusting ways and as someone else said, 'the host dies'.
