Not true. Unions aren't allowed to use union dues for political donations. Money given to political causes is collected separately and members are free not to give to those funds. As for not knowing much about what a union does with its money, each member of the UAW gets detailed accounting every year of where each penny collected in dues and CAP funds (Community Action Programs) is spent---9-10 pages long---all documented and certified by outside accounting firms. Other unions probably do the same as its required by law. Any member who doesn't know where their union dues goes is a member who doesn't bother read the annual report.
And OP, what is wrong with the union busing members into its rally in Washington? The One Nation rally has an important statement to make for working men and women. They are they are focusing on three big unifying ideas: jobs, justice and education.
What's wrong with unions busing people in?
Well, what's right with it?
If an organization throws enough money at a top-down mobilization effort, they can get bodies there. But the Tea Party protesters who have paid their own way all along will stand head and shoulders above them.
What is the big deal with this? They're renting a bus? So what?
a bus? i'm pretty sure there's more than one, but i don't know what the big deal is, either.
...except that there were some leftwingers who couldn't stop howling about how evil and nazi-like these buses were when they were being used by tea-partiers..

can't wait for boompa to chime in about how horrible this union bus thing is, complete with plenty of nazi connotations and descriptors
I look forward to the union supported candidates winning, and continuing their policy towards gutting America first.
It's human nature to vote your own self-interest. If you can vote benefits and goodies from the public treasury - GO FOR IT. Bribe your candidates of choice, and enjoy the bacon he brings back to you. You deserve the government you bought.
However, the "Takers" will eventually outnumber the "Taken", and something will break.
Will the "Takers" also take responsibility for their part in pulling down the whole country?
Or will they point the finger everywhere else?
As a former poster child for socialism and excessive feeding from the public trough, I can testify that grabbing all the goodies one can, is always a good feeling. But is it morally satisfying?
Ah, that's the rub...
When treason prospers, none dare call it treason...
However, the "Takers" will eventually outnumber the "Taken", and something will break.
I think we are at that line today or very close to it.
