The report contains testimony that was given by representatives of the following agencies and organizations: the American Society for Training and Development; the United Auto Workers; the United Steelworkers of America; the Department of Labor's Task Force on Economic Adjustment and Worker Dislocation; Motorola, Inc.; and Diamond-Star, Inc. Also included in the report are three articles, "The Renewal of Leadership" (Robert W. Gavin), "How to Build an Auto Worker. The Japanese Blueprint for Illinois Car Plant" (Cindy Richards), and "GM, Union Learn a Lesson on Retraining" (Stephen Franklin), and an 87-page program guide/directory that outlines the United Steelworkers of America's worker assistance program. The guide summarizes the five principles underlying the program, explains the components of the program's comprehensive employment assistance center model (including ongoing outreach and recruitment, self-help reemployment assistance, efforts to cultivate "worker ownership" of the program, worker tracking, individual counseling, basic and remedial education services, emergency and humanitarian assistance, and possible variations in services), describes the project development process, discusses various policy advocacy issues, and describes the services available through the union's district assistance programs.
