If every $X \in S$ is transitive, then $\bigcup S$ is transitive.

\qproof{
    Consider any $x \in \bigcup S$.
    Then there is an $X \in S$ where $x \in X$.
    Since $X$ is transitive it follows that $x \ss X$.
    So consider any $y \in x$ so that also $y \in X$.
    Thus also $y \in \bigcup S$ since $X \in S$.
    Since $y$ was arbitrary this shows that $x \ss \bigcup S$.
    Since $x$ was arbitrary this shows by definition that $\bigcup S$ is transitive.
