Purple, Good points. My view of the survey is the negotiators get an idea of where their emphasis should be, ie; pay, scope, work rules etc. Only an idiot would say I only want a little, we all treat the survey as a dream sheet but it gives the negotiators a play book. I can understand both sides to releasing the survey, I would prefer not to release it to the company by making it public.
