In February, the APWU commissioned a national survey to better understand the public’s sentiment on the public Postal Service and attempts at privatization. To maintain an unbiased survey, the union commissioned the help of two firms from opposite ends of the political spectrum, the liberal Hart Research company and conservative North Star Research.
Hart Research and North Star worked with the APWU to conduct a survey of registered voters to provide a deep exploration of their attitudes on the Postal Service and the question of postal privatization. To see how attitudes have moved or changed, the survey also included questions from a survey conducted on privatization in 2018.
