Membership

There are more than 1600 members in the Cambridge Central Branch. Most are employed in the larger companies, such as local aircraft maintenance firm Marshall Aerospace, whose Joint Shop Stewards Committee helped set up this web site.

Branch Members are employed by the organisations listed here.

There are a percentage of our members that are "single members", they work outside the workplace group, typically in small businesses which have no official union recognition. These members are still better off being a member of Amicus, as they will receive expert representation and legal advice, not just work related.

There are also about 200 retired members who wish to stay in touch with the union and sometimes need the advice and support of the union even though they are no longer in full-time employment.

Unemployed members remain in membership with full rights and pay no subscriptions for as long as they are unemployed. However, they must notify the Regional office or Branch Secretary to qualify for this and to prevent a build up of arrears.

All members, whatever their status, have the right to participate in the Branch's activities.
