Active Care - Contract Negotiations Membership Survey

Dear Active Care Members:

To be successful in your first collective bargaining agreement we will need to know what is important to you and your fellow workers. By completing this online survey and submitting it for us, your Bargaining Committee will be able to formulate a proposal that reflects you and your fellow Union Members desire. Your input and willingness to participate in this process can make a big difference in the outcome of the negotiations.

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey for submission to the Local Union Hall. Thank you for your participation.

Please feel free to contact the Local Union directly if you require assistance filling out this Survey or if you have any Questions.
