SPNN 2016 Bargaining Survey

As you know, this year we will renegotiate our 2014-2016 collective bargaining agreement with Sharp HealthCare. The agreement expires on September 30, 2016.

In order for your negotiating team to best represent your interests in bargaining a new contract, we need your input. Please take the time to complete this survey.

This survey is divided into four sections, where we ask (1) questions about you and where you work; (2) questions about bargaining issues and priorities; (3) questions about your job; and (4) questions about patient care and safety.

Thank you for participating in this important survey!

Surveys must be completed by June 26, 2016.

* BARGAINING ISSUES

Please rate the following bargaining issues on a scale of "extremely important" to "not very important." It is essential that you make distinctions between items. If you respond "extremely important" to every question, we will not know what issues are relatively important to you. Please reserve "extremely important" for those issues which are truly most important; this will give those responses more weight.
