Welcome
Unite the Union has been formed after Amicus and TGWU members voted to merge to create a new union with around two million members. It is at the forefront of supporting workers through a programme of campaigning and organising.
It is the UK's largest trade union with over 2 million members in a range of industries including, financial services, manufacturing, transport, print and media, the voluntary and non-profit sectors, local government and education and health.
It is dedicated to serving the best interests of its members and will seek to improve their standard of living and the quality of their lives though effective relationships with employers and Government.
The Amicus Section of Unite is a campaigning union both in the workplace and on wider political and social issues at home and abroad. It regularly comments upon government initiatives and proposals and responds to a wide range of consultation documents.
This microsite is designed to provide you with information about our key campaign issues and activities and includes links back to our own website at www.amicustheunion.org
