Abstract: Say that a class of equivalence relations $\mathcal{C}$ has the finite union property if every equivalence relation that is the union of finitely many members of $\mathcal{C}$ must itself be a member of $\mathcal{C}$ . Then the classes of hyperfinite, measure-amenable, Fréchet-amenable, and cheap equivalence relations have the finite union property.
