What do you get when you cross a union with another union?

After spending £10,000 on management consultants, two of Britain's biggest unions - Amicus and T&G (aka Transport and General Workers' Union) - still can't decide what to call their new super-union when the pair merge next year (some insiders say this is the least of their disagreements!)

So, in a nod towards participatory democracy, all 2 million members will get a vote next year alongside their ballot paper agreeing the merger.

And the three, not-very-inspiring, options on the multiple choice answer will be:

OneUnion (Amicus' preference)

Union@work (T&G's preference)

AmicusT&G (the classic fudge)

Any better ideas?
