Member Assistance Program
What is a Member Assistance Program?
For many years, CWA has had a Member's Assistance Program (MAP). The MAP is a union based program aimed toward providing members with assistance when life's problems cause an adverse affect on job performance and productivity. CWA has a vital interest in maintaining a safe, hostile free, healthy workplace for our members, free from the influence of violence, sexual harassment, discrimination, drugs and alcohol.
What MAP services are used for.
* Coaching and assistance for labor-management representatives.
* Confidential problem assessment.
* Referral to qualified professionals for assistance
We have trained MAP Coordinators/Counselors to understand laws and regulations relative to EAP issues, company and union policies and procedures, changes in the court decisions and how our members are affected (i.e., D.O.T regulations) by these guidelines.
