UFS was a trade union representing workers, principally in finance, in the United Kingdom.

The union was established in 1988 with its headquarters in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.[1] It was a non-profit-making organisation, and was not affiliated to the Trades Union Congress or to any political party,[1] although it was part of the Alliance for Finance.[2]

UFS members came from many different employment sectors and the union had partnership agreements with some of the UK's major employers, including Zurich Financial Services, Capita Group (Life & Pensions), IBM and CSC.

History

An Eagle Star Staff Union merged into the Banking, Insurance and Finance Union (BIFU) in 1981, becoming its Eagle Star Insurance Company Section.[3] In 1988, it split from BIFU, again becoming an independent Eagle Star Staff Union, under the leadership of local organiser Alan Wood.[4] It is from this date that the UFS dated his formation.[1]

Following the takeover of Eagle Star by Zurich Financial Services in 1998, ESSU changed its name to the Union of Finance Staff.[5] It later shortened its name to UFS. At the start of 2017, UFS merged into Community.[6]

National Executive Committee

As a union, UFS was a democratic organisation that is organised into geographic regions, and is controlled by a National Executive Committee (NEC) which was elected by UFS members from different regions.[7]

NEC members were not employed by UFS except the position of General Secretary, which, as well as being an employed position, was also an elected NEC seat.[7] The General Secretary of UFS from 1998 was Alan Wood.[8]
