That’s fair with regards to specifics, just pointing out the comment being wildly out of touch I replied to. Par for the course unfortunately.

Union support is substantially higher among younger cohorts, and ~2 million of the 55+ cohort ages out annually, so support should skew upwards over time. Progress in this regard is a function of time.

If this logic held, we in democratic countries would only have left-wing governments. Actually, people like unions less as they age for various reasons.

>so support should skew upwards over time.

That does not necessarily follow. You can’t assume the younger cohort won’t change their opinion over time.

I suppose the beatings could continue until morale improves and under 30 cohort union support declines while continuing to be at will workers having limited agency over working conditions and little power to obtain better wages and other non cash compensation. I believe it to be unlikely though, considering executive branch support via the NLRB (success begets success), youth engagement and activism, etc.

> As your link shows, Gallop showed 67% and a decrease between support YOY.

Which just brings it to where it was in 2021, which is the highest it's been since 1965?

> Its higher than a long term average of 62% and lower than all time high of 75% following WW2 when unions were in their heyday.

Is "following WW2" January of 1957 where it was 75% or August of 1957 where it was 65%. I'm thinking there's some margin of error in those 50s numbers.
