Do you believe labor unions help or hurt the economy?

I think this depends

don't really know what a labor union is

i think they hurt but i understand why they are coming together

They help in theory but if corruption is suspected, it should be investigated along with any political donations they give if they are found to be corrupt.

Labor unions are currently the only defensive system in place for workers to protect them from extreme exploitations by the capitalist class. Without the existence of unions, workers in the US would not have many of the rights afforded to them today. As long as corporations are extracting surplus value from their workers without compensating them fairly, there should be organized bodies in place to demand dignity for those working class people.

Help, people should have a right to unionize and work

Hurt, and ban all forms of unions

They help since it gives the unions an opportunity to represent themselves but can easily hurt whenever they begin to strike.

Depends, this is case by case basis kind of thing

Hurt, they are still necessary though

Both but I lean more towards hurt because they have become corrupted as well. It also depends on the union but I also say the same for corporations as well.

Labor unions can be good in certain circumstances like getting healthcare or a wage increase but they are also bad like when teachers go on strike in the middle of the school year or certain necessities to society are halted to to a strike

Hurt, it has benefits but it is also has bad aspects

Don’t have enough knowledge to make an educated opinion

Hurt, replace with a "Guild system" Where employers and employees, and a variety of people from different social classes cooperating for mutual benefit

Hurt, replace with a guild system composed of both Employers and Employees to work out arrangements together

I have zero experience with unions.

Hurt, but they protect individuals. I'm strongly against police unions.

Incentives should be given to employers to provide better care of employees. Especially Health insurance and retirement contributions. This would minimize the need for labor unions.

Hurt, people should be allowed to organize of their own volition, and discuss potential problems, and attempt to bargain for better conditions, but it ultimately should be a comment suggestion box, with the CEO retaining the power to accept or reject any proposal, disband the union if it becomes a hindrance to, or disrupts the operation of the company and violates the employment contract, up to and including firing any and all workers suspected of further revolutionary zeal. if it becomes a threat to the CEO's Sovereignty, he should be able to act to save his company and he should under no means be defrocked.

I only support private unions due to the massive corruption in public unions and mismanagement of funds within said public unions.

I am not a fan of a Union. I do not believe I should pay someone to work for them nor agree that one strikes we all strike. But to each their own.

I don’t have an opinion here

doesn’t matter, workers rights are more important than the economy

Labor Unions built this country and established a middle class. It’s the greedy corporations and their upper management and boards that are crippling this country.
