The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board has indicated to us that they wish to gather information from our members through an online Employee Satisfaction and Health Survey. At this point in time, we do not know when this survey will be administered. However, we are advising our members that they should not fill out this survey.
Our decision is based on the following reasons:
a) The survey asks for extremely personal information, and the Board cannot guarantee anonymity;
b) A number of the questions infringe upon the process of collective bargaining, by asking our members to comment on their salary and benefits;
c) It is unclear how the information gathered will be used, as most of the questions focus on an employee’s personal health and family situation, rather than on workplace and system factors.
Again, we are advising that our members refrain from taking the survey. If you have any further questions, please contact your workplace OSSTF representative, or call your Bargaining Unit President.
