Welcome

Solidarity Work Life Solutions, Inc. is an independently owned and operated organization based in Madison, Wisconsin. We are totally committed to helping ease the many burdens middle-class working people face as they try to earn a living and raise families in an increasingly difficult work environment. We are equally committed to helping the Unions who represent these workers to project a strong, positive presence in the workplace. Our overall philosophy derives from the inherent dignity of workers and the key role their well-being has in strengthening our society. Essential to this role is the right of workers to earn a living wage by organizing, negotiating, and safeguarding their jobs when unexpected life situations arise.

For more than 40 years the Principals at Solidarity Work Life Solutions have been leaders in providing specialty benefits to a wide variety of employee groups and orgnizations, most notably in the Employee Assistance and Member Assistance (EAP/MAP) field. They have a long history delivering high quality services. They have received international recognition and awards from both labor and management as well as professional associations and community based groups. They have managed some of the largest commercial organizations delivering such benefits as well as developing and managing in-house delivery systems.

Over the past 25 years they have witnessed an evolution in the workplace in which the causes of job jeopardy are no longer limited to dischargeable offenses or the chronic personal issues addressed by EAP and MAP services. Just a few bad breaks which interrupt a tight daily schedule can result in trouble with an employer who has adopted a "zero tolerance" policy on tardiness and absenteeism. At the same time, their unions are under assault by powerful monied interests who want to weaken and destroy them.

In response, the Principals formed Solidarity Work Life Solutions to help both members and their unions by providing affordable, high quality benefits to support workers as they cope with the kind of work-life problems that can jeopardize their jobs.
