It's ironic cons tote hard work, when unions were invented because the people that worked hardest were typically left crippled by the age of 40.
Conservatives have little to do with hard work. There whole ideology is based around the concept that people should be free to collect wealth, and any regulator trying to impinge on people from collecting wealth are considered dangers to the economy. It's a really fucked view point if you can think about it logically for half a second.
If you require an political scenario to work hard your likely a lazy guy that works hard only when there is a short term pay off. Which is usually the norm among cons. The virtue of hard work has little to do with a monetary pay off, and usually far more to do with having a thing called character.
