Does anyone know why the Tea Party is against Unions in general?

Unions are for protection of employees, Tea Party is for big business and doesn't give a **** about the working man(or woman)

Eh? When have they attacked unions in general? The closest they've come to this is Right to Work legislation.
They are against Government Employee Unions; the idea being that people who work for the government will organize to put someone in power who will give them more benefits & protection from layoffs. A kick back system, if you will; which is not too uncommon, but the problem is we are running massive deficits, and Government Employee Pensions have been underfunded, raided by the government, and are a ticking (financial) bomb.

On the same level though, the Tea Party is incredibly far right socially as well. Meaning, they oppose legalization, gay marriage, Planned Parenthood ect... So, if you want to limit people from doing something, you must pass a law. To make sure the law works, it needs to be enforced... which costs money from the government. When the Tea Party talks about cutting from government, it's only the programs they oppose that are in the crosshairs.

It depends on the individual person; the tea party is not a monolithic movement. As I stated earlier, it consists of everyone from Paleoconservatives, Libertarians, and Neoconservatives. So, your strawman fails, bub.
Now, you're right about Planned Parenthood in part - they do support de-funding it from a Federal, State, and Local level. But I hardly think ceasing to fund Planned Parenthood is in the same category as opposing gay marriage.
