Economic Interventionism

Strongly agree

Help

Economic interventionism supports the idea of government intervention in the economy, which includes support for labor unions. Labor unions are seen as a way to protect workers' rights and ensure fair wages, which can stimulate economic growth by increasing consumer spending. However, the score is not a full 5 because some interventionists may believe that unions can sometimes go too far and harm businesses.

Economic interventionism often supports mechanisms that can correct market failures and protect workers' rights, viewing labor unions as essential for negotiating fair wages and working conditions, which can lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth and potentially stimulate economic growth through increased consumer spending. Historical examples include the role of unions in establishing the weekend, minimum wage laws, and workplace safety regulations.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

This answer aligns with the interventionist view that labor unions can be beneficial but also recognizes potential issues, such as the influence of political donations. This nuanced view is in line with the interventionist belief in the need for balance between government intervention and free market principles.

Agree

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

This answer acknowledges the positive theoretical role of labor unions while also recognizing issues of corruption and the need for reform, a view that aligns with economic interventionism's willingness to critique and improve systems for the public good. Historical instances of union corruption do necessitate oversight, but the ideology would likely argue that the solution is not to limit unions' powers broadly but to ensure they operate transparently and democratically.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Economic interventionists might see the logic in preventing unions from making political donations if it leads to undue influence over politics. However, they also recognize the importance of unions in representing workers' interests, including in the political arena. The idea of banning political donations could be seen as limiting the political voice of workers, which might be contrary to the goals of ensuring fair representation and advocacy for labor rights.

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

Disagree

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

Economic interventionism might partially agree with the criticism of public unions due to their complex relationship with government budgets and taxpayer funds. However, it generally supports the existence of unions, both private and public, as a means to balance power between workers and employers. The nuanced stance reflects an understanding of the specific challenges and dynamics of public sector unions, such as the negotiation process impacting public budgets directly.

Strongly disagree

Hurt

From the perspective of economic interventionism, the idea that labor unions hurt the economy overlooks the benefits of collective bargaining for improving wages and working conditions, which can lead to a more satisfied and productive workforce. While acknowledging potential downsides, such as increased labor costs, interventionists typically argue that the overall economic and social benefits of unions outweigh these concerns.
