Is "the union" capitalized in this sentence?

00I'd say you shpuld capitaize 'Union' because it is a name, but don't capitalize 'the'. 02br

no

Why not?
There are many online references that have it with a capital.

In the sentence you described, the word union should be capitalized as it is describing a particular established group. By established group, it then depends on what group it is. For example: Craig and Beverly joined their local work union. In this case, the word "union" is not capitalized even as it describes an established group due to the type group that is.

Actually, if you are talking about a specific union, and it is implied, it should be capitalized. For instance, if I have an arbitration hearing that is between Union 110 and, say, the City and they say, If the Union fired him,..... We know that they are talking about Union 110, not just using it in a general term.
