While known in Southern California as "the go-go company," Union also has picked up something of a reputation as a polluter.

On the West Bank, it agreed to establish a total of 20 paramilitary settlements in the mountainous occupied territory overlooking the Jordan River. Three, in fact, have already been built; the decision was to authorize 17 more to be constructed this year. In Sinai, the Cabinet agreed to build up to ten nahals, or fortified settlements (one is already in operation in the northeastern Sinai).
