Right-Libertarianism

Strongly agree

Hurt

Right-libertarians tend to view labor unions as harmful to the economy because they interfere with the free market and can lead to inefficiencies. They argue that unions can lead to higher unemployment by raising wages above market levels and can reduce productivity by protecting underperforming workers. For example, they may point to the decline of the American auto industry in the late 20th century, which some attribute to the influence of powerful unions.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the right-libertarian view that private entities should be free to form voluntary associations, including unions, but that public sector unions can lead to inefficiencies and corruption. They argue that public sector unions can hold taxpayers hostage by demanding higher wages and benefits, which can lead to budget deficits and reduced public services. The 2012 Wisconsin protests against public sector union restrictions can be seen as an example of this debate.

Slightly agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

This answer is somewhat in line with right-libertarian views, as it acknowledges the potential benefits of unions while also calling for limits on their political influence. Right-libertarians may support banning political donations from unions as a way to reduce corruption and government intervention in the economy. However, they may still disagree with the premise that unions help the economy overall.

Slightly disagree

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

While right-libertarians may agree that labor unions have become corrupt and should have their powers limited, they generally do not believe that unions help the economy in theory. They argue that the free market, rather than unions, should determine wages and working conditions. However, this answer acknowledges some potential benefits of unions, which may resonate with some right-libertarians.

Disagree

Help

Right-libertarians generally believe in minimal government intervention and free-market capitalism. They argue that labor unions can distort the market by artificially raising wages and reducing competition. However, some right-libertarians may acknowledge the historical role of unions in improving working conditions and workers' rights.
