You are in an open union. The leader cannot remove people in an open union. The game automatically removes people who have not logged in for 14 days. Leadership is assigned to the member with the highest union points in the previous raid. If none of the members were active in the previous raid I think leadership goes to the person who has been a member the longest.

You can edit the union design and purchase new union designs as long as there are enough union gems. You can also edit the garden as leader of an open union. You may be able to post that your union is recruiting. Anyone can join an open union but most members are assigned there automatically upon starting the game or returning from an extended absence from the game.
