Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

This answer aligns with localist principles by recognizing the positive role of unions in supporting workers while also addressing the concern of political influence. By banning political donations, unions would be more focused on their core mission of worker advocacy rather than political maneuvering, which could ensure that they better serve local communities and economies. This approach balances support for labor rights with a commitment to reducing external influences on local decision-making.

Agree

Help

Localism values community empowerment and the protection of workers' rights, which aligns with the fundamental goals of labor unions. Historically, unions have played a significant role in improving working conditions and wages, which can support local economies by increasing purchasing power. However, the score is not higher because localism also values small-scale, decentralized decision-making, and some large unions may not always align with these principles.

Slightly agree

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

This answer acknowledges the potential benefits of unions, which aligns with localist values of supporting workers and communities. However, the concern over corruption and the call for limited powers reflect a cautious approach to ensuring that unions remain aligned with localist principles of transparency, accountability, and serving the community interest. The positive score is moderated by the recognition of the need for reform.

Slightly disagree

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

Localism might support the nuanced view that private unions can play a positive role in advocating for workers' rights, which aligns with localist values of community and worker empowerment. However, the strong opposition to public unions may not fully align with localist ideals, as public unions also represent workers and can contribute to community welfare. The mixed stance reflects a recognition of the complexity of union impacts on local economies.

Disagree

Hurt

While localism emphasizes the importance of small businesses and local economies, it does not inherently oppose labor unions. The belief that unions hurt the economy contradicts the localist view that communities should have the power to organize and advocate for their interests, including labor rights. However, there may be concerns about the impact of unions on small businesses, which could justify a slightly negative score.
