unionised
Joined labor group
Unionised is the British spelling of unionized, meaning organized into a labor union: The factory workers unionised last year.
A unionised workforce has collective bargaining power.
The word also has a technical meaning in chemistry—un-ionised, meaning not converted into ions—though this sense is usually hyphenated to avoid confusion.
