As it has been stated, referring to it as a 'union' is problematic as, at least in the US, there is a stigma on unions. Our goal here is to sound like an actual news service, and the best way to do that is to have a name like Wikinews Service or Wikinews Wire.

Perhaps "Wikinews Community Union", or perhaps on a wider scale, we could have a "Wikimedia Volunteer Union". Both of these emphasize that the community is involved with the accredidation, while showing that there is a level of authority that oversees the accredidations, and can write letters (in a sense of authority) for the reporters if nessesary (like previously mentioned with Sean at G8).
Of course, we could always go with "Wikinewsie Editors' Service Association", which implies that we only help Wikinewsies, and that we don't really control the Wikinews domain (or have corporate authority over Wikinews). Plus we've already got the domain ;-)
