Independent trade union supporting workers in the finance sector across the UK

About us

Aegis looks after workers' rights at work in the Finance Industry where we have a recognition agreement with the employers. We help our members get the rewards, respect and recognition at work that they deserve. Our long term strategy is to expand but to grow carefully within the finance industry. We have a simple operating model that can be easily transferred to a similar sized organisation. This means we can quickly establish an infrastructure within other organisations that would quickly add value to the employees and employers. Through our involvement with lobbying groups like the Alliance for Finance, TUC, STUC and FISO we have access to the bodies that shape and regulate our sector. Through regular meetings with organisations like the FCA (Previously FSA), ABI, Scottish Parliament and Westminster, we are able to influence the thinking at the highest level on issues that affect employees and employers in our industry.

One of the crucial ways we support our members is through the grievance process, ensuring fair treatment, resolution of issues, and a supportive environment for all. Whether addressing concerns individually or collectively, we stand by our members every step of the way. Brian McDaid, Assistant General Secretary, SBS Branch kindly detailed the part which Aegis plays in the process in our latest newsletter.

    🌸 Menopause Awareness Day 🌸 As a union, we fully recognise the importance of acknowledging the effects menopause can have on women, both personally and professionally. We are committed to supporting women through this significant life change, as well as educating colleagues to foster understanding and compassion. For nearly 10 years, our former Deputy General Secretary, Fiona Steele, was a dedicated member of the STUC Women’s Committee, working on initiatives that addressed women's physical and mental health. Her legacy of championing women's rights continues today through our ongoing support of the STUC, with Ania Lomax carrying forward this important work. Together, we stand strong in advocating for women’s rights and well-being. 💪 #MenopauseAwareness #SupportWomen #UnionStrong #STUC #WomensHealth"

    Ricky Markham, new Assistant Secretary for the Aegon branch, was just a child when he first experienced the power of a trade union. “My mum and dad are both staunch trade unionists and have been their entire lives. "As a child I was taken on marches and to the picket lines (whenever they fell over the holidays) and was immersed in the values of standing together in solidarity for the common good of all workers.” You can read about Ricky’s journey to Assistant Secretary in our latest newsletter.

    You may remember some months ago we asked you to take part in our Aegis-wide Diversity & Inclusion Survey. After gathering the results of the survey and analysing its results, we have since created a number of actions for us to take on board. You can find the results and action list in the latest copy of our newsletter. https://bit.ly/3ZsmC1r
