Labor unions represent workers in many industries in the United States. Their role is to bargain over wages, benefits, working conditions for their membership. Larger unions also typically engage in lobbying activities and electioneering at the state and federal level.

Help
@983K76N 2mos
I strongly agree that labor unions help the economy as it ensures that worker's will have their rights protected which will lead to their productivity increasing due to high morale. I personally support them since my eldest brother himself is part of a labor union, and it's lead by my uncle and was founded by my grandfather (who unsuccessfully ran for house one time).
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
Help, but ban their ability to make political donations
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
Hurt, I support some private unions but am strongly against public unions
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
Help, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited
@95DFSVN5mos
Help,but only if their viewpoint comes from a nationalistic standpoint.
@98WS56P30mins
they dont help or hurt
@98WQF255hrs
I don’t know enough to answer this question
@98WJW9DIndependent10hrs
Now that the Federal Government is acting on their behalf, we don't really need them much, do we?
@98WG6LZIndependent12hrs
I do not know enough to make a reasonable comment.
@98VC2JF2 days
No se que es sindicato
@98TMB4M4 days
Help, but should still be monitored within reason and must answer for misconduct or cases of illegal action towards members
@98SHC574 days
I don’t know enough about labor unions
@84ZWD6LIndependent7 days
Unions can help, but they should not be required or encouraged by the government. Let the workers decide if they want to unionize. Ban all public sector unions
Help, as long as they don’t hinder productivity.
@98S4ZQV1wk
Idk. I’m from Alabama.
@98R4LXH1wk
Help, and allow at the federal level for educators to unionize
@98R2H6M1wk
They help and hurt the economy. There are corrupt people with too much power in unions.
@98QFR9B1wk
Somewhat help and hurt as it doesn’t allow income inequality but at the same time minimum wage increases which causes high employment rate which will ultimately lead to inflation and high prices.
@98Q4JX72wks
Help, but with that being said, a Union must be scrutinized for criminal activities and must operate with transparency, which the same standard must be applied to the business.
Hurt but I understand why they do it because they deserve more
@98P3PWT2wks
I support labor unions but not for police.
Help, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited and we should implement Corpratism.
@98NTQNC2wks
i need more information
@98MW6Z82wks
both help and hurt the economy
@98MMNP32wks
Help, as long as they're not corrupt.
@98MK32S2wks
I think they are necessary to better all people and make sure they are treated fairly.
@98MJDGZ2wks
The point of unions isn't to help or hinder the economy, it's to give workers the ability to bargain collectively with their employers, so who cares?
@98LT6KB3wks
I think Labor unions both help and hurt the economy because some unions try to have good contracts with companies that allow their people to get fairly paid but also allow the company to handle issues with said person if they are causing problems within the company. But some unions are bad because someone just can't ever come to a fair agreement and are always having issues with the company and won't allow them to do anything sometimes.
@98JL67C3wks
Not enough knowledge to decide
@98HWQ9C4wks
Hurt and all unions should be prohibited
@98HS4HC4wks
Help, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited such as banning their ability to make political donations.
@98H7R5Z4wks
Help, but with measures in place to keep out corrupt leadership in unions
They might hurt but they need it to assure the freedom
@98GHKQC1mo
@98GG9GX1mo
I do not care what they do to the economy, but unions tend to be lead by corrupt Capitalists. Unions should not be allowed to donate to any political party or candidate, and nationalize all corporations and transform them into workers' co-ops.
@98FLWDT1mo
Hurt, but they shouldn't be abolished because what they do for the workers is worth it
@98FH2PN1mo
They help their members. Mixed effect on economy.
Hurt, but we should still allow them.
@98FBB621mo
Hurt, but we should protect workers' rights
Hurt, but we should ensure fair worker treatment
@98CHB892mos
Help, but joining shouldn't be mandatory for any job.
@98CBZDB2mos
They don't feel like they do anything honestly
@98C8HKH2mos
I feel like its helps but I think there can be times where they hurt the communtiy
Help, in theory but at times have abused their power which should be limited
@98B9YTH2mos
Help, but it isn't important in the first place. The lives of real workers are more important than the economic success of those using them; that is in some ways the point of unions.
