Why large Unions represent a diverse set of members take Prospect (UK) which represents people in a very diverse set of industry's.

(Genuine question) Wikipedia says it’s a trade union for “scientists, managers, and engineers” with 140k members across quite a few industries. No mention of what they actually do though.
