Obviously the bosses are against them because they'd have to share a little more of their massive profits with the people who actually do the work.
Some workers are against them because they probably don't understand what a union does, not only for unionized workers, but all workers. Also, there is a lot of anti-union Propaganda in the media, since newspaper owners are themselves anti-union. There have been many abuses by unions, and this hasn't helped. While some reforms are needed, many would throw the baby out with the bathwater.
In short, it's mostly ignorance. Because of laws that were passed in the seventies and eighties that crippled unions, fewer young people nowadays have grown up with parents, friends, or relatives who are union members. They simply don't understand their importance to working people.

Why were unions not popular in the 1800s?
Many labor unions were formed in the USofA prior to the 1800's and before that, there were labor societies known as "guilds" throughout Europe & Asia for millenia. Your presupposition that labor unions could not be formed in the 1800's is probably based in the notion that labor unions had no power to effect broad based change until the federal government became involved. The error of this notion is two-fold: labor societies (in the form of guilds) prospered long before there was a USofA & the federal government did not profit the labor societies so much as it put the labor societies at odds with the market.

How did labor unions create the middle class?
The legal rights and better wages won by unions for the working class in the 19th and 20th centuries raised the standard of living and quality of life of the average person. Instead of living short brutal lives in dangerous factories for little pay and little to no time off, millions of people were able to enjoy things like weekends and vacations, purchase homes, and enjoy something known as retirement. It was the labor unions that WON these things, they were not GIVEN by government or business. As a side note, the mostly moderate and non violent approach of the labor movement became an alternative that thwarted the spread of Communism in the Western world. Desperate and oppressed people turn to radical ideologies like communism and fascism. Labor unions allowed a different way.
