Partnership with Amicus
This year Legal & General celebrates ten years of working in partnership with our Union, Amicus. Over 35% of our employees are Amicus members, and the Union is represented by three full-time secondees and around 40 part-time reps. Despite changes at Amicus over the last ten years, partnership working at Legal & General has been remarkably constant.
The Partnership Agreement recognises management’s right and duty to manage, and Amicus’ right to represent its members across a range of issues. Within a framework of mutual confidence and trust, the Agreement encourages workplace flexibility, fairness and equality in the treatment of employees. This includes transparent pay systems, contractual provisions which encourage equal treatment regardless of background or personal circumstances and access to good vocational training and development.
