The Unified United Unison of Unity Unions

Why are the Unions trying to come up with variations on the same word as their (meaningless) title all of a sudden?

We're now going to have Unison, Unity, Unite and Unify: is this going to be more or less helpful in getting workers to join unions given that you can't tell from their new names what sectors or trades they represent?  I think not.

So I'm today proposing one union: the UUUUU; which has the advantage of being able to be further abbreviated to just U.  Think of the opportunities: "U, U and U can join U, today!".

Are there any remaining variations on the word "union" that haven't been utilised yet, given that we've still got a handful of TUs with very old Labour acronyms like USDAW and CWU...they've clearly got to go. 

Have to say I much prefer the more traditional names that actually mean something to this new meaningless PR makeover - the Unions need so much more than this sort of stunt to turn themselves around.

there are I am told at least 5 unions called "unite" in the world. Sorry Peter but so what?

But why do it - it looks absurd?
