AEGIS (trade Union)
Aegis is a trade union representing workers in financial services in the United Kingdom. The union was founded in 1971 as the Scottish Equitable Staff Association, an internal staff association at Scottish Equitable. Scottish Equitable was renamed Aegon UK in 2010, and the union changed its name to "Aegis", affiliating to the Trades Union Congress in the same year. By 2012, some Aegon staff had been outsourced, and the union began also recruiting those workers. This led it to pursue a strategy of gradual growth into other parts of the financial services industry. In 2014, the unions SURGE and YISA merged into Aegis, expanding the operation of the union into Skipton Building Society, Homeloan Management Limited (now known as Computershare) and Yorkshire Building Society Yorkshire Building Society is the third largest building society in the UK, with its headquarters in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.

Its most important subsidiary is the Connells estate agency which operates nationally out of over 500 branches.

The initiative came from George Kendall, then a 23-year-old timber merchant, described as “a prominent Skipton townsman”. Kendall’s motivation appeared to be the advantage a building society would bring to the district and he sought out other local dignitaries in support. After the first Secretary’s short tenure, Samuel Farey was appointed to the position. At the time, Farey was a 30-year-old schoolteacher although in later years he became a substantial mill owner. The Centenary brochure credited Farey with laying “the firm fou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trade Unions Established In 1971
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other produc ...
