AA Conference Questions 2014 (contd)

Committee No. 5

“Question 1. Would Conference share experience and consider the importance of employment liaison work in Alcoholics Anonymous, and whether a new approach is required?

Background

• Despite all the work done little evidence of increased awareness with employers (recent Conference reports).
• Big book has an entire chapter ‘To Employers’. Page 150, Hank P writes 'they have been saved from a living death'. Is that not our responsibility still today?
• Only 25 out of 120 Intergroup ELO positions filled (GSO information 09-08-13)
• Recent programmes on TV highlighting binge drinking and resultant injuries, sickness and hangovers.
• Employers may be unaware that frequent episodes like this may indicate a serious problem for the employee and ineffective workforce for the employer.”
