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.

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.

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