We Recognize the Challenges

In general, life is more complicated than ever before... on and off the plant floor.  That is why the UAW and General Motors have created several Work/Family Programs to help UAW-represented GM employees better balance their work and family responsibilities - and reach their full capabilities, both on and off the job.

UAW-GM Child Care Resource and Referral Service

The Child Care Resource and Referral Service is a joint UAW-GM program to help employees balance work and family. The child care consultants are available to help UAW represented GM employees by providing child care referrals, parenting resources and information.

The child care consultants work with parents to clarify child care needs, identify possible providers, and verify available spaces at licensed child care centers and family day care homes. Parents receive referrals to child care providers with confirmed vacancies and information about how they can choose quality child care.

The child care consultants can help parents design a special summer plan for their children.  Parents receive referrals to camps and programs designed with their children's interests in mind.  The consultant also has information on local activities, parks, gardens and festivals for the whole family.

Working with the local joint child care committee, the child care consultants plan workshops and special events to support working parents and grandparents. The child care consultants maintain a lending library of materials on child development, family issues, and other information on parenting and community resources.
