Ronald Reagan

Strongly agree

Hurt

Reagan's actions during his presidency, particularly his response to the 1981 air traffic controllers' strike, suggest that he believed labor unions could be detrimental to the economy. He fired the striking workers, arguing that their strike was illegal and harmful to the nation.

Agree

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

While Reagan was generally skeptical of labor unions, he was a member of a private union himself, the Screen Actors Guild, and even served as its president. This suggests he may have seen some value in private unions, while still being critical of public unions, as evidenced by his response to the air traffic controllers' strike.

Agree

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

Reagan might agree with this statement to some extent. He was a member and president of the Screen Actors Guild, a private union, suggesting he saw some value in unions. However, his actions as president, particularly his response to the air traffic controllers' strike, suggest he believed unions had become too powerful and could be harmful.

Slightly disagree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Reagan, as a conservative, generally favored less regulation and intervention in the economy. While he might agree with the sentiment that unions can help the economy, it's less clear whether he would support banning their ability to make political donations, as this could be seen as limiting free speech and political participation.

Strongly disagree

Help

Reagan, as a conservative Republican, generally favored less regulation and intervention in the economy. He believed in the power of free markets and was skeptical of labor unions' impact on the economy. His handling of the 1981 air traffic controllers' strike, where he fired over 11,000 striking workers, is a clear example of his stance.
