Jennifer Granholm: 'Teamsters President Hoffa: We Have To Fight" To Stop Right-To-Work'

"James Hoffa, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, tells Jennifer Granholm that the first thing Romney would do is push for a national "right-to-work" law to restrict the rights of unions.

"The unions are part of the American society. We play an important role. Business plays an important role. There is a political link. We are all part of a fabric that makes this country run. They don't accept us as being there. They want to knock us out. And that's what we have to fight. And if we can explain that to our members, I think we can get that through," Hoffa said.

Last September, Hoffa threatened the GOP at a union event where President Obama spoke.

"President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong," Hoffa said about Republicans."

What so-called right to work laws really are, are trying to stop unions from organizing and putting unions out-of-business. If the Right really cares about workers and doesn't want them to be forced to pay for union dues that they didn't sign up, then they would outlaw forcing non-union workers to pay union dues. And instead allow non-union workers to negotiate their own pay and benefits instead.
