In Germany it's not as bad as in the US. It's more of a mixed bag. Some people are pro, some are con and some don't care. But there is not that amount of pure hatred against unions. There are some unions that retrieve heavy criticism, because of their behaviour in negotiations or public announcements. But we don't want to get rid of all of them.

I guess on average Germany is just not as polarized about unions (and other things) as the US.

If you only ever look online, you would say that American unions mostly have fanatical proponents. (Because people who express opinions online are more likely to be leftist, I guess, and everything about American politics is polarised.)
