Who We Are

he Association of Management and Professional Staffs is a UK Registered Trade Union whose origins go back to the British Association of Chemists founded in 1918. Its original membership of graduate scientists in the UK chemical industry has since widened to include managers, scientists and other graduate level staff in a range of science based UK industries. These include chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and textiles, and there is also a special section for professional divers.

AMPS is now a section of the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union, but is self governing, has its own staff and is fully autonomous in all industrial relations activities.

The AEEU is in turn affiliated to the Trades Union Congress, which undertakes a range of training & research activities as well as co-ordinating the activities and representing the views of the whole UK union movement at national and international level.

The European Union's site has extensive material on trade union, social and workplace issues.
