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. HistoryAn 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 CommitteeAs 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] References1. ^1 2 UFS, "About us" {{UK-trade-union-stub}}2. ^Alliance for Finance, "Our Members" 3. ^Unite the Union, "Finance and Legal - history" 4. ^IRIS News, vols.30-34, p.391 5. ^Union of Finance Staff 6. ^Trade Union Certification Officer, "[https://www.gov.uk/government/news/certification-office-proposed-trade-union-mergers Certification Office: mergers]" 7. ^1 UFS, "UFS Structure" 8. ^UFS, "UFS Staff" 4 : Defunct trade unions of the United Kingdom|Trade unions established in 1988|Organisations based in Cheltenham|Trade unions disestablished in 2017 |
