	Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many local and regional unions joined the ASE in subsequent years and in 1920, after the acquisition of nine fresh member unions, the name of the organisation was changed to the Amalgamated Engineering Union.
		The AEU merged with the foundry workers union NUFW in 1967 and the draughtsmen's union DATA in 1971 to form the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers, AUEW.
		The AEU became a mainstay of the moderate right in the trade union movement through the 1980s and 1990s, leading the manufacturing unions in 1989-91 in a successful push for a shorter working week, but failing to merge with a number of unions, notally the building workers union UCATT.

		Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union, U.K. Let's look at some ways that unions are addressing the challenges of globalization and new technologies by empowering members with new skills and a new spirit.
		Unions are, of course, struggling to win higher wages through collective bargaining, working for increases in the minimum wage, straining to preserve low skilled jobs here at home.
		In a lively lead-off presentation at the latter meeting John Lloyd of Britain's big Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union stressed the far-reaching cultural change British unions are undertaking to pull themselves and their country together after decades of mistrust and industrial strife.

	House of Commons - Deregulation - Third Report
		While the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union supports the principle of members choosing whether or not they wish to continue paying subscriptions, we note difficulties in members inadvertently failing to return their re-authorisation before the expiry of the authorisation period, if at all.
		If union subscriptions are levelled as a percentage of a member's salary, there is no obligation to notify members of subscription increases resulting from an increase in salary.
		It was suggested that instead of the transitional arrangements a requirement could be placed on unions to notify their members - possibly in the ways currently used to notify members of increases in subscriptions - of the fact that their authorisations for check off deductions were now for an indefinite period.

		The union says that by the end of 2002 it aims to check every company in the UK in the sectors it covers, to find out if women workers are getting a fair deal and to seek justice for women on pay.

		Mr Monks said unions and the TUC were also seeking partnership with the new Government, which he said was not trying to shut unions out of public life as the Tories attempted.

	Merger forms new super-union
		At the beginning of April 2001, the AEEU engineering trade union and the MSF technical union announced that the proposed merger between the two organisations had been approved in membership ballots.

		From the perspective of effective trade union organisation, statutory union recognition procedures are unlikely to be at all useful.
		To the latter, who are confronted by the loss of 5 million members in the last two decades, statutory trade union recognition is a necessary complement to the "social partnership" agenda, as the bedrock of their desperate survival plan.

		The AEEU was formed in 1992, through a merger between the Amalgamated Engineering Union (AEU) and the electricians and plumbers Union, the EETPU, which have a long history supplying the most right wing representatives of the trade union bureaucracy.
		The union left the workforce to rot outside the company gates for eight years between 1986 and New Year's Eve 1994, before the few remaining strikers were forced to give up on their failed dispute.
		The union has once again done nothing to mobilise any of its 730,000 members against this lockout, even within the company itself, and has refused to take any action to prevent the recruiting of scabs, whom the AEEU no doubt hopes to represent after the dispute.
