Splash, I see what you are saying...if something was near the bottom of a previous survey, management would know that it isn't desired as much as something else on the list. But should the negotiating team even be working very hard on something well down our list at the expense of things the membership ranked higher? Aren't we essentially telling management what we care about most by bringing those items to the table?
