the rule isn't based on aeiou in spelling it's based on pronunciation. If you pronounce it with the sound of a vowel then it needs "an". That's why it's "a union" because union starts with a Y consonant sound
That’s how I learned the correct pronunciation for Ubisoft. One of their games had “A Ubisoft production” on the title screen. Which would have been wrong if it was pronounced “OOO bee soft”. But clearly it’s pronounced “You bee soft”. Unless it was a typo…damn. I learned nothing.
