Have Your Say: UNA Annual General Membership Survey launches Monday, May 5, 2025

United Nurses of Alberta will be conducting our annual telephone survey of general members starting Monday, May 5, 2025. The survey will be ongoing through to the end of May.

This survey of general UNA members (i.e. members who are not currently participating in internal UNA work such as Local Executives or on the UNA Executive Board) is conducted on behalf of UNA by Viewpoints Research.

In order to conduct the survey, UNA may disclose a member or duespayer’s full name, phone number, and geographic location to Viewpoints to complete the survey. Should you wish your personal information not to be disclosed to Viewpoints, please contact research.staff@una.ca   no later than May 1, 2025. We will exclude this information accordingly in order to comply with the Personal Information Protection Act. Please note UNA has a license agreement with Viewpoints which only allows for participants’ personal information to be used to complete the survey.

When Viewpoints Research calls, often in the evening, your call display will show the UNA provincial office name and number: 780-425-1025.

If you are randomly selected to participate, please be aware that Viewpoints does not leave a message but may attempt to contact you up to five times. If you are out, or unavailable when Viewpoints calls, you may find UNA's number listed on your call display as a missed call. 

Information collected through the survey is confidential and anonymous. To protect members' privacy, dialing is computerized. This means that although the telephone interviewer knows the name of the member they are calling, they do not know, and cannot access, the member’s phone number, or any other contact information. 

After responses are collected, Viewpoints Research combines and aggregates all the data before sharing results with UNA. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact UNA’s Researcher, Danusia Moreau, at the phone numbers below or by email at research.staff@una.ca .

We hope you complete the survey if selected. Your responses will help us provide comprehensive information on nurses’ experiences across Alberta and will help advocate for improved working conditions and patient care.
