Beverly Registered Nurses Association Bargaining Priorities Survey 2015

Question Title

* 1. In 2015, we will have an opportunity to make breakthroughs and improve our contract which expires in the spring. So, let's prepare for negotiations now!

Below is a survey our bargaining team will use as a guide in developing proposals for negotiations. Every RN needs to fill out the survey to ensure our voices are heard. No information on this survey will be shared with Beverly management.

Please rate the following issues from extremely important to not very important. If you mark extremely important for every issue, we will not know which issues are relatively important to you. Please reserve extremely important for those issues which are truly extremely important. This will give those responses more weight. Please complete this survey online by January 15, 2015.

For each issue, please choose the response that best represents your answer.
