N2 - We examine the variation in local implementation of a union-wide Member Assistance Program in order to generate theoretical insight into the way in which union-wide innovations, once adopted at the national level, are implemented at the local level. Specifically, we focus on the factors that may account for local variation in the content of the implemented program. Our findings suggest that a number of factors relating to both institutional and strategic choice theories may best explain the variance in locals' program implementation.
