Help

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) has historical and foundational ties to the trade union movement. The party was formed by the trade union movement in the late 19th century to represent the interests of workers in the political arena. The ALP's policies and platform have traditionally supported the role of trade unions in advocating for workers' rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions. The party views trade unions as essential partners in achieving social and economic justice for workers.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

While the Australian Labor Party supports the role of trade unions in the economy and advocates for workers' rights, the issue of political donations is more complex. The ALP itself benefits from union donations, which are a significant source of its political funding. However, there is ongoing debate within Australia about the influence of money in politics, including donations from trade unions to political parties. The ALP might be open to reforms that increase transparency and accountability in political donations, but outright banning union ability to make political donations could be seen as undermining a key support base for the party.

Help, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited

The Australian Labor Party acknowledges the importance of accountability and integrity within all organizations, including trade unions. However, the party fundamentally views trade unions as beneficial to the economy and workers. While there may be instances of corruption that need to be addressed, the ALP would likely disagree with a blanket statement that unions have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited, as it undermines the overall positive contribution of unions to society and workers' rights.

Strongly disagree

Hurt, I support some private unions but am strongly against public unions

While the Australian Labor Party supports the role of trade unions in both the private and public sectors, it is unlikely to strongly agree with a statement that supports private unions but is against public unions. The ALP believes in the right of all workers, including those in the public sector, to organize and be represented by unions. The party's stance is that unions play a critical role in advocating for fair wages and conditions across all sectors of the economy.

Very strongly disagree

Hurt

Given the Australian Labor Party's historical ties and ongoing alliance with trade unions, it is highly unlikely that the party would agree with the statement that trade unions hurt the economy. The ALP views trade unions as crucial for protecting workers' rights and contributing to a fair and equitable society. The party's policy positions typically emphasize the positive role of unions in negotiating better pay and conditions for workers, which in turn supports consumer spending and economic growth.
