    I can only speak for the UK, but it is absolutely illegal here for an employer to bring up unionism during a job interview.

      Yes, but how on earth would that be enforced?

      “They brought up unions.”

      “No we didn’t.”

      Case closed boys, no evidence.

      Later:

      “We don’t find you a good fit here for unrelated reasons.”

      Even if it is somehow enforced, employer get slapped with a 500-1000£ tickle fine and says “oh no, anyways” before doing the exact same thing.

        I know it’s a tough thing to enforce.

        The last job interview I had they bought it up. Not even maliciously, the interviewer was just naïve and the work place is actually strongly unionised.
