What actual rights were lost? Unions can still recruit members, still have dues deducted, still strike.
Where is the threat that warranted all the hue and cry and outrage?

Great point! Just before the Michigan vote I saw a popular politican giving a speech to a union group, falsely stating that they're rights for collective bargaining were going to be taken away if the bill passed.
That was one of those lies that politicians like to call being "disengenuous."
