Answer

Can union leave in Mallorca be used for a private trip?

Union leave is meant for union-related duties, not for a private holiday. If an employee uses that time for something unrelated, it can create serious employment-law issues, especially if the employer was not informed. Whether it amounts to misconduct depends on the exact facts and the internal rules in place.
