The central purpose of unions has always been to respond to workers\u2019 needs and concerns. Unions have a history of establishing and promoting community initiatives that improve the lives of workers and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n

The growing disease of substance abuse, addictions, mental health, stress, depression, financial hardship, including but not limited to socioeconomic issues, are serious problems that hinder quality of life for many of our members.<\/p>\n

Member and Employee Assistance Programs (MAP\/EAP) essentially have the same objective: to assist workers and their families through prevention, intervention, assessment, directed care and follow-up services for problems that adversely impact workers\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n

MAP and EAP programs evolved from labor-initiated efforts to educate members and employers that debilitating personal problems should be approached as any other health care concern.<\/p>\n

Ideally, employers will cooperate with the union on equal basis to tackle the drug, alcohol, mental and emotional issues that affect workers\u2019 lives, the workplace and the community at large.<\/p>\n

Where an employer will work with the union, we have an EAP. When the employer will not or cannot participate equally with the union; we have an MAP. Regardless of the latter, the IAM provides a CONFIDENTIAL service that will help members in need.<\/p>\n

This service is available to all IAM members, staff and family members.<\/p>\n

You may reach the confidential IAMAW EAP\/MAP Helpline by calling 301-335-0735 or emailing\u00a0iameap@iamaw.org<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

L\u2019objectif central des syndicats a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 de r\u00e9pondre aux besoins et aux pr\u00e9occupations des travailleurs. Les syndicats ont l’habitude d’\u00e9tablir et de promouvoir des initiatives communautaires qui am\u00e9liorent la vie des travailleurs et de leurs familles.<\/p>\n

La maladie croissante de la toxicomanie, des d\u00e9pendances, de la sant\u00e9 mentale, du stress, de la d\u00e9pression, des difficult\u00e9s financi\u00e8res, y compris, mais sans s’y limiter, les probl\u00e8mes socio-\u00e9conomiques, sont de graves probl\u00e8mes qui nuisent \u00e0 la qualit\u00e9 de vie de bon nombre de nos membres.<\/p>\n

Les programmes d\u2019aide aux membres et aux employ\u00e9s (MAP \/ EAP) ont essentiellement le m\u00eame objectif: aider les travailleurs et leurs familles par des services de pr\u00e9vention, d\u2019intervention, d\u2019\u00e9valuation, de soins dirig\u00e9s et de suivi des probl\u00e8mes qui nuisent \u00e0 la vie des travailleurs.<\/p>\n

Les programmes du PAM et du PAE d\u00e9coulent des efforts lanc\u00e9s par les syndicats pour informer les membres et les employeurs que les probl\u00e8mes personnels d\u00e9bilitants doivent \u00eatre abord\u00e9s comme toute autre pr\u00e9occupation en mati\u00e8re de soins de sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Id\u00e9alement, les employeurs coop\u00e9reront avec le syndicat sur un pied d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 pour lutter contre les probl\u00e8mes de drogue, d\u2019alcool, de troubles mentaux et \u00e9motionnels qui affectent la vie des travailleurs, le lieu de travail et la communaut\u00e9 dans son ensemble.<\/p>\n

Lorsqu’un employeur travaillera avec le syndicat, nous avons un PAE. Lorsque l’employeur ne participera pas ou ne pourra pas participer de mani\u00e8re \u00e9gale avec le syndicat; nous avons la PAM. Ind\u00e9pendamment de ce dernier, l’AIM fournit un service CONFIDENTIEL qui aidera les membres dans le besoin.<\/p>\n

Ce service est disponible pour tous les membres de l’AIM, le personnel et les membres de la famille.<\/p>\n

Vous pouvez contacter la ligne d’assistance confidentielle de l’AIM PAE \/PAM en appelant le 301-335-0735 ou en envoyant un courriel \u00e0 iameap@iamaw.org.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
