Meet Union Jack

Raised in a prestigious unioning household, Union Jack attended the most prestigious Unioning University - or Uniuni, for short. He was the top of his class, becoming the most famous union rep in the whole of England.

But one day, Margaret Thatcher closed the mines, causing Jack’s eyebrows to fall out from rage. That’s when he knew... This Was War!

He couldn’t let the Jack Family down, they named their son Union for a reason. His entire reputation as an Uniuni alumnus was at stake.

The fate of the strike is in Union’s hands.
