For the most part, it is the Republicans who oppose the unions. In the US, Republicans tend to support individual rights more, while Democrats tend to support group rights more. Unions divide people up into groups.

Republicans tend to believe each person should take care of themselves, and that most will be able to if the government doesn't take what they earn and waste or give to others. Union workers, while they tend to get higher wages than nonunion workers, they also have to pay extensive dues, membership is often compulsory, and the dues often go to support agendas that Republicans tend to disagree with.

Do American unions vote democrat or republican?

That is a good question. Historically American unions have been supportive of the Democratic Party as a fundamental part of the Democratic coalition of interests in the Country. Democrats have been more in favor of expanding workers rights and especially workers rights to organize. Republicans, the party of the business owners, is more typically against expanding workers rights, against the minimum wage, against making it easier for unions to organize. That said, American workers can vote any way they wish in the voting booth. It is still a secret ballot. Republicans have made inroads in workers by using social issues such as gay marriage, which Democrats do not oppose, and other issues that have nothing to do with economics normally important to the working man. The best answer to your question is that American union members vote and support Democrats, but not in all cases.
