What is EAP?
The Union recognizes that employees may have problems which affect their
job performance and their health. Dependence on alcohol and other mood
altering chemicals, family problems and emotional problems are some
examples. The Union believes it is in the interest of the employee, of
his/her family, the Union, and the employer to provide the troubled
employee assistance in dealing with such problems.
An instrument to accomplish this is the Employee Assistance Program
(EAP). In general, EAPs are designed for employees and dependents who
have personal problems which may affect the employee's job performance.
While there may be some differences among employers, EAPs affiliated
with District Lodge 141 are voluntary, confidential, professional
services which provide evaluations, assessments and referrals, through
appropriate resources, for treatment and follow-up care.
The District Lodge 141 Employee Assistance Program’s (EAP) goal is to
motivate members with personal problems and accept professional
assistance within the constraints of the respective negotiated company
benefit plan .The EAP Coordinator's function within the program is to
provide education and awareness of the EAP, advocate for and support the
principles and tenets thereof, and direct employees to an appropriate
and qualified professional evaluation resource.
Union Coordinators
The mainstay of our program is the local lodge EAP coordinator. These
men and women give much of their personal time to assist our brothers
and sisters who are experiencing personal difficulties. After review by
the local lodge, our coordinators are appointed by the President and
Directing General Chairman to this position with re-appointments based
on recommendations of the Director of DL 141 EAP and concurrence by the
President and Directing General Chairman.
Roles
There are differences between the roles of our coordinators and that of
employer EAPs. The most significant of these is diagnosing and
evaluating. Our EAP coordinators do not make clinical diagnosis nor is
their job to do clinical evaluations. However, our EAP coordinators do
provide other valuable functions that, in most cases could not be
efficiently provided by employer EAPs. The main responsibilities of our
coordinators are: to promote EAP and its use, to encourage acceptance of
EAP referrals, and to be supportive of our members in a follow-up role
when appropriate. In cases where our brothers and sisters choose not to
involve the employer EAP our union coordinators can provide information
about community resources that can provide professional assessment and
evaluations.
Consulting
with an EAP Coordinator
When
should the coordinator be consulted? One instance would be when job
performance or work related problems or issues exist or persist. By way of
example, most of us experience some type of family or life difficulty that
intermittently effects our disposition and or our ability to give full
attention to the task at hand. However, the majority of these work
themselves through in a short time without any significant intervention or
consequence. There should be concern when these symptoms linger or persist
for several weeks or months and it would be well to consider discussing
this with your union coordinator. Remember, our coordinators are well
versed in EAP procedures and can provide an empathic and supportive ear.
Sometimes, all a person needs is someone who will listen and not be
judgmental.

The Wm.

class May 11-16, 2008. EAP-I is the first of three planned EAP courses at
the school designed to train IAM members in EAP core technology. District

pilot class instructors and advisors. The inaugural EAP-I class is
scheduled for the week of August 10-15, 2008.

The Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) awarded IAM
