Create your own aggregate.
CREATE AGGREGATE array_union (anyarray) (SFUNC = array_cat, STYPE = anyarray);
WITH "test" AS (
select * FROM (VALUES (ARRAY[1,2,3,3,4], 1), (ARRAY[1,2,2,3,4], 2)) t
)
SELECT
array_union(column1) AS column1,
array_agg(column2) column2
FROM
"test";
column1 | column2
-----------------------+---------
{1,2,3,3,4,1,2,2,3,4} | {1,2}
(1 row)
