Thankfully most employees go through their entire working life without ever encountering any problems in the workplace. But what happens when out of the blue you suddenly face a situation that you were not expecting? If you suddenly find that your role is being lost or your pension’s rights were being changed, if you were asked to relocate to another country or you were facing disciplinary action? What would you do? Who would you turn to for independent advice and help? The company’s consultation process provides one potential mechanism, whilst AMPS aims to provide its members with an additional protection mechanism for their interests; it brings peace of mind, reassurance that if the unexpected happens then someone will work for your interests who is independent of your employer, and who is highly experienced in such matters.

AMPS are an autonomous association within the large Unite Union. This relationship enables AMPS to provide the best of both worlds; it is small enough to care and understand the needs and concerns of its members, but large enough to protect its members.
