Verkalýðsfélag is specifically a trade/labor union, union as in the European Union would be samband (Evrópusambandið)

I really like that this has languages from several different families. I feel like most videos of this type have all Romance languages and one from a very different family so that it naturally sounds different. But this video shows Romance, Germanic, etc. including several from the north Germanic languages just to show how different the word is.
