brethren

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trade union members?' is the definition.
'brethren' can be an answer for 'members?' (brother is a kind of member). I am not sure about the 'trade union' bit.

'herbert morrison's last reforms' is the wordplay.
'last' says to take the final letters.
'reforms' is an anagram indicator.
The final letter of 'morrison' is 'n'.
'herbert'+'n'='herbertn'
'herbertn' anagrammed gives 'BRETHREN'.

'for' is the link.
