Here's an idea. The union can take a few dollars out of the money they send to Obama and the Democrats. That would amount to chump change.

First of all, the money is ours to spend as we see fit. I don't hear anyone railing against those companies that send money to Republican candidates.

Second, I'm not sure how much money you think the local union spends on political issues, but the answer is none. There is a seperate political advocacy organization that is seperate from the union. Members are not required to join.

Third, there isn't a glut of money sitting around the union office. Not sure where people get that idea.

Finally, it is the district's legal obligation to provide a suitable venue for negotiations. It would be a disservice to it's members for the union to set a precident of paying for the venue.
