Doreen,
It's just numbers, isn't it? But do you actually have access to the figures? Does your organisation require a staff member to notify the organisation if he/she decides to join a union?
I would think the question would be better put to the union(s), rather than the Council.

Subject: [data-protection] Union Information
All
I have received a request as to how many employees are members of a
Union. How many Unions and how many members in each.
I can see no problem with this as it would not identify individuals but
as Union information is sensitive information (although as I have said
does not identify individuals) just thought I'd get your views. Can't
see that it would do any good - unless they are trying to work out how
many did/did not go on strike re. the pensions fund.
Any thoughts welcomed..............
