- 1英國前工會 Amicus（2007 年與 TGWU 合併成 Unite）
AMICUS was a British trade union: a large organisation of workers who join together to talk to bosses about pay and conditions. It was for people with technical or skilled jobs in manufacturing — making goods in factories. It was a modern UK union, not an old Latin club. In May 2007 it joined with another union, the TGWU, to form a bigger union called Unite. So in British news from before 2007, AMICUS is this union; after that, the name is mostly history. The union took a Latin word meaning “friend.” Though actually, English also has amicus in law, short for amicus curiae, “friend of the court” — a lawyer who advises a court without being one of the two sides. That is a different word; this entry is the old union.
組成The union’s name is Latin amicus, “friend.” Another English AMICUS is an abbreviation of amicus curiae (“friend of the court”); that origin belongs to the legal word, not this union.
