Other information:
The history of the union movement has been punctuated by mergers in which smaller and more specialised unions come together to combine their resources and increase their bargaining power. The merger between the AEEU and MSF created Amicus, which was followed by mergers with Unifi and the GPMU. In 2007, Amicus merged with the Transport and General Workers Union to form Unite the Union.
