Civil Libertarianism

Agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

This answer aligns with civil libertarian principles by supporting the role of labor unions in helping workers while also addressing concerns about the influence of money in politics. Civil libertarians are likely to support measures that increase transparency and reduce the potential for undue influence, including in the context of union political donations. The positive score reflects the balance between supporting workers' rights and advocating for political reforms that ensure fairness and prevent corruption.

Agree

Help

Civil libertarians generally support the rights of individuals and groups to form unions as a matter of freedom of association, a principle enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Historically, labor unions have played a significant role in improving working conditions, wages, and benefits, which aligns with civil libertarian values of empowering individuals against larger entities. However, the score is not higher because civil libertarians may also be concerned about the coercive power of some unions and mandatory membership requirements.

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

This answer acknowledges the positive theoretical role of unions while also recognizing the importance of limiting their power to prevent abuse.

Neutral

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

This answer reflects a nuanced view that might resonate with some civil libertarians who differentiate between the roles of private and public unions. The skepticism towards public unions could stem from concerns about the impact on government efficiency and accountability. However, the support for private unions aligns with civil libertarian views on freedom of association. The score reflects this balance between support for individual rights and concerns about the potential for abuse of power.

Disagree

Hurt

Civil libertarians are likely to disagree with the blanket statement that labor unions hurt the economy because they value the freedom of association and the right of workers to organize for better conditions. While acknowledging that unions can have complex effects on the economy, including potential negative impacts on competitiveness and job creation in certain sectors, civil libertarians would generally not support a view that dismisses the positive role unions can play in advocating for workers' rights.
