Do you believe labor unions help or hurt the economy?

Whilst they provide safeguarding for a lot of employees, they can sometimes limit growth for the economy for example the ARC furnaces. The stance of the union has not saved any jobs and in fact sped up the companies ability to close the other blast furnaces quicker

Helps workers more than employers so limits their profits and spending but increases the spending of workers I think there’s an equilibrium

Labour unions help their members. Other vested interest groups are allowed do that with very little restriction, regardless of how they affect the economy, and Labour unions should be no different.

Labor unions help but from a distance

Help, because the economy should not be based on the exploitation of the workers

Hurt, I support some private unions but am strongly against public unions Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Hurt, but they are necessary to protect workers’ rights

Help, but only private unions involved in collective bargaining.

They do Help but they should have tougher regulations but on them

I’m pro union

I believe unions are an important pillar of democracy but some are out for their own benefit and not their members

Help, but only collective bargaining

Whether they help or hurt the economy does not effect my support of unions.

They're a necessity to represent the rights of the working man and uphold them and give them a voice.

couldnt care about politics tbh fella

How would you feel about joining a union if it meant you had to regularly participate in protests or strikes?

How do you think technology, remote work, or automation might change the importance of unions in the future?
