How can I fix a mistake I made during an interview?
Unaware of the negative impact, at a job interview last week I mentioned my union helped me during my resignation process. This has raised red flags with the new potential employer and my new job opportunity is at risk. What can I do to address this and put their minds at ease? Should I disclose the circumstances of my resignation? Help! I really want this job!

Maybe send a follow up letter to the person that interviewed you. Be honest. Tell them you think they may have had a negative impression of the circumstances for which you received help from the union and then explain in what capacity they helped you, if it wasn't something bad. Then recap your qualifications and what you will be able to provide for them if hired.

This probably can't be fixed. That is the purpose of an interview - to meet the person and talk to them. Just about anything you do at this point will look desperate. At the very least it looks like poor judgement on your part which is not good.
BTW, run from unions, they take advantage of the worker they claim to protect.

Sorry, you can't "fix" it.
You should NEVER mention the word "union" in an interview. Tres stupide, as you found out. Good luck.
