~ 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.
Juggling work demands and family needs can be challenging, even exhausting, especially for workers who are raising children and trying to make informed decisions as parents.

The Child Care/Elder Care Resource and Referral Service is a joint UAW-GM program to help employees balance work and family. At GMSPO/Martinsburg, your Child Care Committee members are: Susan Griffith, Mike Burke, Randy Brown, Kathy Haines, and Liz McGowen. Liz, your on-site Child Care Consultant is available to help UAW represented GM employees by providing child care referrals, parenting resources and information.

Your On-Site Child Care Consultant works with parents to clarify child care needs, identify possible providers, and verify available spaces at licensed child centers and family child care homes. Working with the local joint child care committee, the On-Site Child Care Consultant helps to plan special events to support working parents and grandparents. Child Care consultants maintain a lending library of materials on child development, family issues, and other information on parenting and community resources.

     Your on-site Consultant can help with:
