Strongly agree

Hurt

Republicans tend to view labor unions as harmful to the economy, as they believe unions can drive up costs, reduce competitiveness, and lead to job losses. They often argue that unions hinder economic growth and have supported right-to-work laws to weaken unions. For example, in 2012, Republican Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin signed a law that significantly limited the power of public-sector unions.

Agree

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

Some Republicans may support private unions but strongly oppose public unions, as they believe public unions can lead to increased government spending and inefficiencies. For example, Republican Governor Scott Walker's 2012 law in Wisconsin specifically targeted public-sector unions, limiting their bargaining power and requiring them to hold annual recertification votes.

Slightly agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Some Republicans may agree that labor unions can be helpful but should be banned from making political donations. This view aligns with their concerns about union corruption and the influence of unions on politics. However, this position is not as common among Republicans as their general opposition to labor unions and support for right-to-work laws.

Disagree

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

While some Republicans may acknowledge the theoretical benefits of labor unions, they generally believe that unions have become corrupt and should have their powers limited. This view is reflected in their support for right-to-work laws and efforts to limit the power of public-sector unions, such as Governor Scott Walker's 2012 law in Wisconsin.

Strongly disagree

Help

Republicans generally believe that labor unions can hurt the economy by driving up costs and reducing competitiveness. They often argue that unions can lead to job losses and hinder economic growth. For example, Republican lawmakers have supported right-to-work laws, which weaken unions by prohibiting them from requiring workers to pay union dues.
