Introduction [edit]
Prospect is a United Kingdom trade union which represents engineers, managers, scientists and other specialists in both the public and private sectors. It was formed on 1 November 2001 by the merger of the trade unions the Institution of Professionals Managers and Specialists (IPMS) and the Engineers and Managers Association (EMA). In 2009, Prospect endorsed a transfer of engagements from the Connect union, the union for managers in the communications sector, which became a part of Prospect on 1 January 2010. In 2012, the union absorbed the Aspect trade union.[1]
Membership [edit]
As of 2013[update] it has around 120,000 members, employed across the areas of agriculture, defence, energy, environment, meteorology, heritage, shipbuilding, telecoms and transport. It is now the largest union representing professional engineers in the UK.
Governance and Organization [edit]
The president is Alan Grey and its General Secretary since 2013 is Mike Clancy. Its principal policy-making body is the biennial National Delegate Conference. Policies determined by this conference are enacted by a National Executive Committee of 23 members, also elected biennially.
It is organized in around 300 branches across its main sectors of employment, each branch generally corresponding to a separate employer. These include both single-site and geographically-spread groups.
It covers staff across the UK from its regional offices in Edinburgh, Douglas, Liverpool, Lutterworth, Cardiff, Bristol, Chertsey, London and Doncaster.
