Mark,
If I (say as Personnel manager) received the request from you, I would be
happier to send out the request, to eligible staff, in my name, asking them
to contact you if they wanted to join the union. That way I haven't
divulged any information.
Regards,
Matt

Subject: Direct marketing for trade union membership
Among other things I am a trade union official in my institution,
and I want to recruit more members.
If I asked the institution to provide me with a list of people in the
grades eligible for membership, so that I could send them
information about joining the union, would the institution have
grounds under the DPA for refusing my request?
