Quick Summary

The Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunication and Plumbing Union (EETPU) was a British trade union that merged with the Amalgamated Engineering Union (AEU) in 1992 to form the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union (AEEU). The EETPU itself was formed in 1968 through the merger of the Plumbing Trades Union and the Electrical Trades Union.1

In 2001, the AEEU merged with the Manufacturing, Science and Finance (MSF) union to create Amicus. Subsequently, in 2007, Amicus merged with the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU) to form Unite, which became the largest trade union in the United Kingdom.12
