The survey comes on the heels of the Amazon Labor Union's historic election victory at the JFK8 warehouse and ahead of next week's vote at a smaller Staten Island facility.
Among respondents between the ages of 18 and 34, a whopping 83% agreed with the pro-union argument, while 80% of people aged 35 to 49 concurred.
Young people who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 were even more enthusiastic in their support for Amazon workers, with 91% of 18- to 34-year-olds and 90% of 35- to 49-year-olds in favor of unionization. As recent polling has a collapse in the president's approval rating among people under 35, More Perfect Union suggested that"embracing organizing workers can help Biden restore his public standing."Even a majority of young supporters of former President Donald Trump—71% of 18- to 34-year-olds and 66% of 35- to 49-year-olds—said that Amazon workers need union representation.
Support for unionizing Amazon workers was also apparent across racial categories—71% among white respondents, 75% among Asian respondents, 83% among Hispanic respondents, and 87% among Black respondents.
