ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The FIT/UCE Employee Assistance Program is
a jointly sponsored labor/management program.
It is a free service designed to assist employees
who may be experiencing personal problems
which can affect their ability to function on the
job. Our program is also available to the family
members or significant others of FIT employees,
as well
as retirees and their family members. The FIT/UCE EAP
upholds the strictest professional and legal standards
of confidentiality.

Once you contact the EAP, a trained counselor
is available to speak with you, make an
assessment of the problem, provide information
and an appropriate referral if necessary. In
making the referral, among the things we take
into account are an individual’s finances,
geographical location, gender and sexual
orientation, ethnic and racial background.
