Fiscal Conservatism

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns more closely with fiscal conservatism, as it acknowledges the potential negative impact of public unions on government spending and efficiency. Fiscal conservatives may argue that public unions can lead to inflated wages and benefits, which can strain public budgets and reduce the quality of public services. The 2012 Wisconsin Act 10, championed by then-Governor Scott Walker, is an example of a fiscal conservative policy that aimed to limit the power of public unions.

Agree

Hurt

Fiscal conservatives tend to prioritize economic growth and efficiency, and they may view labor unions as hindrances to these goals. They might argue that unions can lead to higher wages and benefits, which can increase costs for businesses and potentially lead to job losses or reduced competitiveness. For example, they may point to the decline of the American auto industry in the late 20th century, which some attribute in part to the influence of powerful unions.

Agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Fiscal conservatives may find this answer somewhat agreeable, as it addresses concerns about the influence of unions on politics and government spending. By banning political donations, fiscal conservatives might argue that unions would have less power to lobby for policies that could hurt the economy or increase government spending. However, this answer still maintains that unions are generally helpful, which may not align completely with fiscal conservative views.

Slightly agree

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

While this answer acknowledges potential issues with unions, it still maintains that they can be helpful in theory. Fiscal conservatives may agree with the idea of limiting union powers to prevent corruption and inefficiencies, but they may not fully agree with the overall positive view of unions. The 1981 air traffic controllers' strike in the United States, which led to President Reagan firing over 11,000 striking workers, is an example of a situation where a fiscal conservative might argue that union power was detrimental.

Disagree

Help

Fiscal conservatives generally believe in limited government intervention and free-market principles. They may see labor unions as interfering with the natural market forces and driving up costs for businesses, which could hurt the economy. However, some fiscal conservatives may acknowledge the historical role of unions in improving working conditions and wages.
