Democracy

Help

Democracy ideology generally supports the concept of labor unions as they are seen as a way to balance the power between workers and employers, ensuring fair wages and working conditions. Historical examples include the role of unions in the establishment of the eight-hour workday and the improvement of labor conditions during the Industrial Revolution.

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

This answer acknowledges the positive theoretical foundation of labor unions in democratic societies but also recognizes potential issues such as corruption. The democratic ideology supports the idea of reform and accountability, making this view somewhat agreeable as it seeks a balanced approach to maintaining the benefits of unions while addressing their flaws.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

While democracy strongly supports the role of labor unions in advocating for workers' rights, the idea of banning their ability to make political donations is contentious. On one hand, it aims to prevent undue influence on politics, aligning with democratic principles of fairness and transparency. On the other hand, it restricts the political voice of workers' collectives, which could be seen as limiting political participation, a core democratic value.

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

While democracy values the freedom of association and the right to unionize, the distinction between private and public unions and the opposition to the latter can be seen as undermining the universal rights of workers. However, concerns about the potential conflict of interest in public unions might resonate with some democratic views, hence the slightly negative score.

Strongly disagree

Hurt

From a democratic standpoint, the assertion that labor unions hurt the economy overlooks the broader benefits of unions in promoting social justice, equitable wages, and preventing worker exploitation. While there can be economic adjustments due to union activities, the overall democratic view tends to see these as necessary for a fair society.
