Default Retirement Phone Survey

The phone survey has started.

Who’s been called?

What specific questions did they ask?

How were the questions worded?

Was there an oppportunity for “free response” or “additional comments” at the end?

It would be interesting to know why our elected representatives are seeking membership opinion via a random, phone survey vs a written survey everyone can participate in

Isn’t the latter method how they started this project?

There was an initial, online survey every pilot was asked to fill out to gauge membership knowledge and sentiment of our current Total retirement compensation.

Just like the CBA 2015 “survey”...

When you get to ask the questions and funnel the answers to a list, you control the results.

It is glaringly obvious by the lack of complete information in the videos as well as, yet again, no voice from anyone that dissents, they don’t want an open debate.

I took the call last week and the responses are canned but you can add info and there is a free text ability at the end to sum it up.

I just took the survey. I took some notes on what was asked. This isn’t complete but I wrote as fast as I could. About half the the questions required multiple choice responses that measure your level of satisfaction. The others were open comments and the caller said they were typing what you said verbatim.

These aren’t exact quotes...just a summary.

1. Do you feel the MECs comms are good?
2. Do you desire more comms on retirement?
3. Are you happy with the amount of info you receive?
4. Are you satisfied with the frequency of the MEC comms?
5. How many videos have you watched?
6. How many of the emails have you read?
7. Have you accessed the APLA website for retirement information?
8. Have to attended union meetings?
9. Have you submitted questions?
10. Has the union done a good job answering questions? Why/why not?
11. How familiar are you with the current A plan?
12. How satisfied are you with the current A plan?
13. How credible is FedEx management.
14. How much do you trust FedEx management?
15. What would you want to ask the NC?
16. What would you want to ask the MEC?
17. Rate the performance of the MEC
18. What should be the principle focus of the MEC in the next year?
19. Has the MEC/Block rep communicated enough/effectively?
20. Do you trust the MEC?
21. How often do you interact with your block rep?
22. Do you get/see value in the dues you pay?
23. There were a couple questions about the variable benefit plan and how educated you are on them.
24. Open comment at the end. The survey taker took a statement on whatever you wanted to say.

That was a much better summary than I could have mustered from memory.

25. Are you willing to give up your beachfront property in Florida for some beachfront property in Iowa?

FlyBoyd excellent summary. I got the call today. I spent most of my time giving "extra" comments on most sections. When it came to the end the poor girl had to ask me to slow down. My impression is that the MEC will be getting the unedited results

How many reflect what I think...ehhhh.
