Alternative ERI - The slightly different survey on UPS´employee relations

erstellt von oops — zuletzt verändert: 13.12.2009 18:56

UPS ERI survey has been suspended due to the economic crisis. When it comes back, it will be called EOS, and it is stated that it is going to help management to improve workplace atmosphere and teamwork in your local plant. Others consider the ERI survey to be an instrument of control and manipulation. Especially the circumstances under which ERI is taking place, the PCMs and informal talks that go with it and the subsequent ERI-meetings are widely criticised. Therefore we (a network of rank and file UPSers and trade unionists not only from Germany) are offering an alternative ERI for the third time now, despite the crisis. Our survey will end on December 20th. The results will be published here soon after. You may add your comments and your location at the end of the survey. We are grateful for any comments, suggestions or criticisms. Thank you for participating and have fun completing the survey.
