Manufacturing, Science and Finance


Manufacturing, Science and Finance was a trade union in Britain. Over eighty members of Parliament were members.

History

The MSF was the result of a merger in January 1988 between the Association of Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs and the Technical, Administrative and Supervisory Section. In 1991, it had 604,000 members, but this fell to 446,000 in 1996, the most rapid decline of any major British union.
In 2001 the MSF merged with the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union to form Amicus. The General Secretary of MSF from 1992 until the merger with Amicus was Roger Lyons, who continued as Joint General Secretary of Amicus's MSF section. In 2007 Amicus merged with the TGWU to form Unite.
