A big part of why unions are so weak in the US is that they were legalistically coopted (and the militant ones were shut down during the red scare).
They were also culturally co-opted. Pick any American TV cop/lawyer show from the 1970s onwards, and chances are that every time the story involves a union, it's about organized crime.
