Etymologically, the entry records: Since 2013, when it was formed by the merger of earlier unions from various industries. By surface analysis, the name was evidently chosen for its connotations of unifying and being for the workers. Compare also Unison. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is Unifor, spelled U-N-I-F-O-R, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
