Summary
Major UK trade unions (TUC, Unison, GMB, Unite) have rejected Nigel Farage's invitation for unions to affiliate with Reform UK, accusing the party of "cosplaying" as workers' champions while opposing new employment rights. Despite a recent poll showing growing support for Reform among union members, union leaders firmly rebuffed Farage's overture, with one noting Reform voted against workers' rights 19 times in the last parliament.
