More on Unite the Union
Description from Wikipedia:
Unite – the Union, known as Unite, is a British and Irish trade union, formed on 1 May 2007, by the merger of Amicus and the Transport and General Workers' Union. As part of the merger process, a Joint Executive Council (formed of the executives of both the predecessor unions) took office on the vesting day. Unite has two Joint General Secretaries, Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley, who were the General Secretaries of Amicus and the T&G respectively at the time of the merger to form Unite.. It is planned that they will remain in office for three years until Derek Simpson's retirement, at which point both will relinquish their role at the same time to make way for a single General Secretary.
In March 2008, a new Executive Council for the expanded Union was elected, taking office on 2008-05-01 and having a three year term.The Executive Council will put a new Unite rulebook to a postal ballot of members during July 2008. The rule book, if accepted, will not subject to amendment until a Rules Conference is held.
On July 2, 2008, Unite signed an agreement to merge with the United Steelworkers to form a new global union entity called Workers Uniting. The new merged entity, Workers Uniting, will represent over 3 million active and retired workers in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Ireland and the Caribbean.
