Classical Liberalism

Strongly agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

This answer aligns well with classical liberalism's emphasis on individual rights, free markets, and limited government intervention. Classical liberals may support labor unions as a means for workers to negotiate better wages and working conditions, but they are also concerned about the potential for unions to wield undue political influence. Banning unions' ability to make political donations would help to address this concern and ensure a more level playing field in the political process.

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

This answer reflects a nuanced view that is consistent with classical liberalism's emphasis on individual rights and free markets. Classical liberals may agree that labor unions can help the economy in theory by protecting workers' rights and ensuring fair wages, but they may also be concerned about the potential for corruption and abuse of power within unions. For example, they might point to instances of union leaders engaging in corrupt practices or using their influence to stifle competition and innovation.

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

This answer aligns more closely with classical liberalism's emphasis on individual rights and free markets. Classical liberals may support private unions as a means for workers to negotiate better wages and working conditions, but they are often skeptical of public unions, which can lead to inefficiencies and increased costs for taxpayers. For example, classical liberals may point to the high costs of public sector pensions as evidence of the negative impact of public unions on the economy.

Hurt

Classical liberals do not generally believe that labor unions inherently hurt the economy. They may acknowledge that unions can sometimes lead to inefficiencies and reduced competitiveness, but they also recognize the potential benefits of unions in protecting workers' rights and ensuring fair wages. The mixed view on this issue reflects the classical liberal emphasis on balancing individual rights with economic freedom.
