Push Poll or Contract Survey
 

Push poll

A push poll is an interactive marketing technique, most commonly employed during political campaigning, in which an individual or organization attempts to influence or alter the view of voters under the guise of conducting a poll.


Does this definition match up with anybody's recent experience regarding the contract survey?

I was called by UNH poling about a month ago, I didn't think they were pushing anything, but some of the questions were worded like this:

How long do you think it will take to reach a new TA?

What is the most important item in the contract to you?

What % pay raises do you want to see on day 1, and the out years.

Do you think a job action will be necessary to achieve a new TA?

And at the end, she asked, "Is there anything you would like to say to your MEC?"

Poor girl. She probably had no idea what was coming when she called Timbo and asked is there anything you want to say to you MEC?

Boom.

Don't take it out on the pollster..... they are just doing a job.

But if you want to understand the stream of thought running through this group.... ask the pollster if what they got from you is representative of the poll answers in general.

If they don't already do it....dalpa should share the poll results with management. Because neither appear to see the torches and pitchforks.

In other news....UPS pilots voted 99% to authorize job action.

That too, but really blew her mind was when I told her I graduated from UNH!:eek:

She said, "I've never actually talked to any pilot who went to UNH!"

I said, "It happens...":D

I then went on to ask her why UNH never beats BU in Hockey?! And then we talked about all the good bars on campus... back in the day (12 years before she was born!)... she said most of them are now shut down.:rolleyes:

But hey, now there is an online poll, you don't have to wait for the phone call!
