I think as scambo has suggested, the survey results would demonstrate how far our contract fell short of expectations. The original reason for not making the results public was that we were in negotiations. We're well past that now. I would have far more respect for our union if they simply showed us the results, and stated perhaps that our initial goals were out of reach for any representative organization. My intent was not to disparage you BTW - I'm opinionated as well and am glad to see a variety of opinions here.
