The GMB said its members based at the company’s site in Coventry backed more strikes by 99% on a turnout of 54%.
The union said almost 800 Amazon workers were on strike on Wednesday, the 19th day of industrial action since the dispute flared.

Some GMB members met MPs in Parliament to seek support for their campaign.
Senior organiser Amanda Gearing said: “The vote for six more months of strike action at Amazon Coventry shows these workers are in for the long haul.
“These workers are angry, they know their rights and they will not go away.”
– Unions involved in industrial disputes have to hold a fresh ballot every six months to ask their members if they want to continue taking action.
