Liberalism

Agree

Help

Liberalism generally supports the idea of labor unions as a way to protect workers' rights and ensure fair wages and working conditions. However, the level of support may vary among liberals. Historical examples include the New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which strengthened labor unions in the United States.

Agree

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

Some liberals may agree with this statement, acknowledging that while labor unions have historically played a positive role in the economy, there have been instances of corruption and abuse of power. For example, the Teamsters Union in the United States has faced multiple corruption scandals over the years. These liberals may argue for reforms to limit the power of unions while still supporting their overall existence.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Liberals may have mixed opinions on this statement. Some may agree that limiting the political influence of labor unions could help reduce corruption and ensure a more level playing field in politics. However, others may argue that labor unions should have the right to participate in the political process, just like corporations and other interest groups. The Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision in the United States, which allowed for unlimited political spending by corporations and unions, has been a contentious issue among liberals.

Slightly disagree

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

While some liberals may support private unions more than public unions, the general consensus within liberalism is that both types of unions play a role in protecting workers' rights. However, there may be some liberals who are more critical of public unions due to concerns about inefficiency or the potential for corruption.

Disagree

Hurt

Liberals typically disagree with the notion that labor unions hurt the economy, as they believe that unions help to create a more equitable distribution of wealth and power. However, some liberals may acknowledge that there can be negative consequences of union activity, such as strikes disrupting economic activity. The disagreement with this statement is not absolute, as some liberals may recognize potential drawbacks of unions.
