Do you have one row per date in each table?
If not, what do you want to do for dates with a row missing in the other table?
JOIN is for matching up rows in two tables.
LEFT JOIN is similar to JOIN, but it allows for rows to be missing (not matching) in the 'right' table.
UNION is when you want all the rows in one table and all the rows in another table -- each row standing alone (no matching up).
Maybe you need a third table that includes all dates, then two LEFT JOINs -- one to each of your current tables.
