Join Amicus

If you want the expert advice, support and representation Amicus can provide, join our union. Membership has benefits for everyone - any job, any grade, any employer, any division, home-worker, full-time, part-time, temp, contractor or IT.

If you, or anyone you know, wants to join us, a membership form is available from the Amicus website, here.
Details of the subscription rates are available below.

We asked some active members of the ITPA to tell us why the joined - and why you might want to, too...

Robert Dimmick:

I've worked for ICL for almost 30 years. Ever since I started work I have been a member of the ITPA or its predecessor unions. Sometimes I have played a leading part, sometimes I have been totally inactive.

Rita Leech:

I am often asked when trying to recruit new members "what is in it for me?", and I am hard put for a convincing answer.

I am privileged to work in a career which is stimulating, congenial and well paid, among people who are, on the whole, stimulating, congenial and well paid. I can choose where, when and how I work, avoiding areas and companies in IT that I find uncongenial. Why on earth am I in a Trade Union?

Alan Bell:

Hi my name is Alan Bell and I work for Origin UK. I have been a member of Amicus (formally MSF) for over 15 years and part of the ITPA since its inception.

I used to work for ICI in their in house software section but I along with some 300-400 colleagues were "outsourced" in February 1996.
