The Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union (AEEU) was a British trade union. It merged with the MSF to form Amicus in 2001.
History
The union was founded in 1992, when the Amalgamated Engineering Union finally achieved a merger with the Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications and Plumbing Union, after a hundred years of off-and-on discussions. [2] The new union took the name Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union.[1]
