Labor Unions

Labor has long been a catalyst for and a champion of benefit plans that respond to the needs of its members and their families. Work and family issues have always been at the heart of labor’s agenda.

Today, America’s workforce is in transition, with a growing number of dual income and single parent families who shoulder rapidly emerging caregiving responsibilities. How does the Fund deal with rising member need for caregiving support in a world of increasing health and benefit costs? Part of the answer is to limit the stress associated with caregiving responsibilities which is a catalyst in rising health care utilization and cost. It does not matter if the Fund is self-funded or fully insured, Fund members experience stress dealing with childcare, eldercare, financial, legal and other real concerns which leads to increased medical utilization and hospitalization. WFB can provide the focused assistance and support that labor membership needs to help reduce that stress and meet today’s challenges for the family, for the fund.

WFB’s work-life solutions are low cost and deliver real value to members with caregiving responsibilities who don’t know where to turn. Our counselors take the time to listen for the specific need(s) and then identify affordable, relevant work-life resources to support the members and their loved-ones – children, spouse, partner and parents.

Your members will appreciate the help and be less stressed. As they face today’s work-life challenges, this is how we together go through life with them.
