Minutes before Michigan Governor Snyder signed the 'Right-To-Work' bill into law...

... Teamsters head Jimmy Hoffa appeared on CNN, as seen in the clip below, warning that:

"This is just the first round of a battle that's going to divide this state. We're going to have a civil war,"

...as the bill to weaken unions' power is passed. If Hoffa is right, look for Michigan GDP to soar: after all it is one of the more Keynesian states in the union.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has signed right-to-work legislation,

Jimmy Hoffa.,, Jimmy Hoffa, are you freaking serious?, he’s the guy you have to trot out to defend unions?.,, in a world that made any kind of sense, that would be hilarious., but I guess in the world as it is now, where right is wrong, evil is good, work is punished and being a slack pos is admirable, I suppose it does make sense to have the son of union / mafia goon brought out to extoll the virtues of unions.

He has the power of Obama behind him, don’t forget. Unions elevated the middle class, he told us this week.

Who are they going to war with? People who don’t show up cause they don’t sign up?

Like Snyder said, if they return value to workers for belonging, then the workers will belong. It’s now a free choice.

If signing up for AAA is valuable to a traveler, then they’ll sign up and keep it. If it isn’t, they either won’t sign up or they won’t keep it.

Citizens don’t need the government requiring folks to sign up for AAA’s invisible service.

Watching these fat, entitled union thugs scream, shout and throw punches has reminded me once again why I will never buy a Detroit-made automobile

Quick! We need about 3 more states to run with right to work legislation so Hoffa's head explodes.

Good afternoon.

...We're going to have a civil war,"

I have heard that exact quote or/and something very similar from various left wing media sources since the election. Why?

Is it the "revenge," 0bama was talking about during the campaign? Is it the class warfare he and his campaign campaigned upon?

Why all of the hostile rhetoric? They won, didn't they?

There is a bad moon arising. Be ready, check your stores, commo and logistics. You won't have time later.

Too little, too late. Even with right to work, the home of the UAW is too entrenched in the union mantra. And it’s not the private sector unions they have to worry about, it’s to public sector ones. The largest employer in the state of Michigan, is the State of Michigan. Expect all of the public sector employees to turn on their own government and residents.
