The Labour Party in New Zealand has a long history of supporting trade unions, viewing them as essential for protecting workers' rights and promoting fair wages. The party was founded by trade unionists and socialists in 1916, and has consistently advocated for pro-union policies. For example, in 2018, the Labour-led government passed the Employment Relations Amendment Act, which strengthened collective bargaining and union rights.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

While the Labour Party would agree that unions help the economy, they might not fully agree with banning their ability to make political donations. The party has historically received significant support from unions, both in terms of membership and financial contributions. However, they might be open to discussions about transparency and accountability in political donations.

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

While the Labour Party might agree that unions can theoretically help the economy, they would likely disagree with the assertion that unions have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited. The party has consistently advocated for strengthening, not limiting, union rights and powers.

Strongly disagree

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

While the Labour Party might agree with supporting private unions, they would likely disagree with the notion of being strongly against public unions. The party has consistently supported both private and public sector unions, viewing them as essential for protecting workers' rights in all sectors of the economy.

Very strongly disagree

Hurt

Given the Labour Party's historical and ongoing support for trade unions, it is highly unlikely that they would agree with the statement that unions hurt the economy. They view unions as a vital part of a balanced economy that protects workers and promotes fair wages.
