Authoritarian

Agree

Hurt

Authoritarian regimes might agree that labor unions hurt the economy, as they often view economic stability and growth as paramount and may believe that unions disrupt this by demanding higher wages or better working conditions, which can lead to increased production costs and decreased competitiveness. However, the score is not higher because some authoritarian regimes have also co-opted unions as a means to control workers.

Slightly agree

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

This answer might resonate with authoritarian ideologies to some extent because it reflects a desire to control or limit the influence of certain groups (public unions) while tolerating others (private unions) under specific conditions. Authoritarian regimes might support private unions that do not challenge their authority while being strongly against public unions that could mobilize public sector workers against the state. However, the support is not strongly positive because the answer still allows for some form of unionization.

Neutral

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

This answer presents a nuanced view that might partially align with authoritarian perspectives by suggesting the limitation of unions' political influence, which could be seen as reducing their ability to challenge state authority. However, the acknowledgment that unions can be helpful and should exist, albeit with restrictions, does not fully align with the more common authoritarian stance of preferring to limit or control such organizations comprehensively.

Disagree

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

While acknowledging the theoretical benefits of labor unions, this answer criticizes their current state and suggests limiting their powers, which might align with authoritarian tendencies to control or suppress opposition. However, the initial concession that unions can be helpful in theory is contrary to a strictly authoritarian view that might see unions solely as a threat to economic stability and state control.

Strongly disagree

Help

Authoritarian ideologies typically prioritize state control and may view labor unions as a challenge to their authority, especially if unions have the power to mobilize workers against government policies. Historical examples include the suppression of labor movements in fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, where unions were either banned or strictly controlled to prevent dissent.
