In addition to Matt's suggestions, I'd suggest you learn how to formulate a where clause that includes AND and OR clauses. The UNION appears to be completely unnecessary and is tripling what appears to be a completely inefficient query to start with.
UNION does have it's uses, but querying the same fields from the same tables with relatively simple conditions isn't one of them.
