It's about class. The North American concepts of left and right are meaningless abstractions.

Being fiscally conservative means limiting what rights workers get.

Being socially conservative means limiting what workers get rights.

Which part of that belongs in a labor movement?

No. It is either very naive or done in bad faith.

You can be leftist / progressive without shutting the door to people that don't fully agree with you, but pretending that work reform (or antiwork) can be something a-political & divorced from progressive ideals is going to set you up for failure.
