unioning
Workers banding together
Unioning is the process of combining or merging, typically used in technical contexts.
In databases and programming, unioning joins two sets of data into one, eliminating duplicates: We're unioning these two tables to get a complete list.
In labor contexts, unioning refers to organizing workers into a union: The warehouse staff has been unioning for months.
