      Alt Left Mr. Hoffa deserves to be home it's been decades Lord please bring him home for closure something has to be out there to find his wallet , something!! I honestly believe no matter what Mr. Hoffa was a giver for the poor he knew what hunger was and for someone who was uneducated because he needed to help his mother feed his siblings that never left his heart ! Once President Nixon pardoned Mr. Hoffa with the stipulation that he could not go back to the team since presidency for nine years after he been released Hoffa wasn't having it! Welll, that help sign Mr. Hoffa's death certificate people can let the Mob take the fall but, so many enemies had been within Mr. Hoffa's path including our judicial system - those days were the beginnings of finally buying your way to the best of the best look how this Country of ours has fallen completely on deaf ears ! I'm hoping each day that when reach my day to leave this earth that it's before the Big Bang - it's coming Lord Bless you & yours Happy Holidays to you & yours as well ...

      It's odd. Reagan got rid of the air-traffic controllers, and they name an airport after him. Unfortunately, most people under 85 have no idea what labor is, the respect for work. The average person thinks he was a mobster. It's not just Hoffa. People will judge guys like JFK, Jim Morrison and many more based on a distorted movie by Oliver Stone, etc..

      He was indeed a highly intelligent and articulate self-educated man. I realize he was no saint, but he did a lot of good things for a lot of people and I can't help but feel sorry for him and the fate that would become him. I only hope it was quick and that he was mostly unaware. He would have had to be actually. He was WAY too intelligent to be trapped otherwise, real time smarts, an extraordinary combination of rhetorical AND street sensibilities almost unrivaled in this one man. Consummate Judas level betrayal was the only way you were likely to get a bullet in to the back of his head.
      In a lot of ways he was railroaded. His work necessitated acquaintance and playing along with unsavory types, a difficult tight rope to walk and I do believe he kept his eye on the greater good, the overarching aims and welfare of the people he looked out for and lead with loyalty and integrity. Also, he did not live some outlandish, extravagant material life as he surely could have been far more corrupted by the power he attained. He did seem to be a sincere family man and champion of the little guy. But such fascinating discussions, we have nothing like this now. Most peoples eyes would glaze over with an equivocal guest roster today.

He was the only man that could say no to the mob wanting full access to the teamsters pension fund, to the same mob that he had to work with to stop mobsters from bracking the Union's strikes. He said: Be aware that it will be a tought fight to keep the rights we work so hard to achieve because the government and big corporations want to do anything it takes to take them away. Little did he know that his mob friends would betrayed him along with his VP and others and helped the government and the big corporations in getting him out of the way.

    In 1924, Viola moved the family to Detroit in search of the same things Sylvia Pagano would seek sixteen years later: a steadier job and better wages. Viola worked long hours polishing radiator caps at the Fisher Body plant and washed laundry in her spare time. Hoffa worked odd jobs on weekends and evenings to help his mother. He also got in fights. When he first moved to Detroit, a group of Polish boys taunted him and his brother, Billy. “We learned that unless you were willing to fall into line and accept the pecking order of an existing clan, you had to establish your right to maintain your own private domain,” Hoffa later recalled. “This was accomplished by bloody noses and shiners, but finally we won acceptance into the neighborhood youth’s social order.” The same philosophy would later guide Hoffa in his confrontations with recalcitrant employers, rival unions, and the federal government.
    The young Hoffa also absorbed his mother’s Protestant ethic. He loved to work from the time he was a child, and he would always live frugally, even in the years when his Teamsters office looked out on the nation’s capital and he was surrounded by suitcases full of cash. Hoffa never smoked or drank, and he looked down on others who did. He embraced what he described as his mother’s “remarkable independence, responsibility, resourcefulness, and steadfastness.”
    It is little surprise that a young man with these values, in his family’s circumstances, would quit school after ninth grade and go to work full-time. In 1927, the fourteen-year-old Hoffa began work as a stock boy at Frank & Cedar’s Dry Goods and General Merchandise, earning $12 each week for sixty hours of work. He loved the job and his co-workers. His bosses told him he had great prospects there, and the future labor leader dreamed of running the store one day.
    But then the stock market crashed in October 1929, hitting Detroit harder than any city in the country. The automobile industry collapsed, and with it the city’s jobs. One-third of the Detroit workforce was unemployed within a year, and Hoffa’s prospects at Frank & Cedar’s suddenly looked bleak. Taking the advice of a co-worker that the food business was a more secure place to work because people had to eat, Hoffa got a job through friends at a Kroger warehouse near his home.
    If Hoffa’s happy days working at Frank & Cedar’s would later inform his sometimes-cozy relationship with employers, his job at Kroger at the height of the Depression would teach him the need for unions and make him a labor leader. He worked the night shift, unloading freight cars of fresh produce at thirty-two cents per hour. With Detroit’s economy still shrinking, with tent cities, public begging, and garbage-eating growing, and with no public welfare to cushion the blow, Hoffa was lucky to have a job. But conditions were gruesome. The workers lacked job security and were paid only for the hours they loaded and unloaded, which meant that they often hung around the warehouse all night for just a few hours’ pay.
    Making matters much worse was the foreman, Al Hastings, a cruel, dictatorial screamer who took pleasure in taunting the workers and firing men on a whim-“the kind of guy who causes unions,” as Hoffa later said. Hoffa and the other workers tolerated Hastings’s “outrageous meanness” because the alternative-joining long lines of starving men and women begging for a few hours of paid work-seemed worse. But by the spring of 1931, after Hastings fired two workers for no apparent reason, the situation had become intolerable. Hoffa and four other workers decided to form a union.
    The idea was risky to the point of irresponsible. Unions aim to establish a cartel among workers at a firm in order to extract from employers wage, benefit, and workplace protections above what the free labor market would provide. This was not a popular idea in 1931, especially in Detroit, which a contemporary observer described as “the open shop capital of America.” Nor was it easy to achieve, since unions at the time had no legal protections, and employers, backed by politicians, police, and hired strikebreakers, fiercely resisted nascent union movements. If Hoffa and his friends had simply presented their grievances, Hastings would have quickly fired and easily replaced them.
    The men went forward in a different way. One hot May evening, on Hoffa’s cue, they stopped transferring crates of fresh strawberries from a refrigerated car into a trailer, and left them on the loading docks. Hastings barked orders and threatened to fire the men. But the strikers stood firm. As the strawberries began to wilt, Hastings folded and called his supervisor, who agreed to meet with Hoffa over the men’s grievances if they returned to work. Over the days that followed, the five “strawberry boys” negotiated a one-year contract that recognized their union, guaranteed a half-day’s pay, and established modest work rules.
    Hoffa spent the next few years working at the warehouse and for the fledgling Kroger union until he and Hastings had a final confrontation that caused Hoffa to leave. The next day, Joint Council 43 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which had been trying for years to organize the Kroger warehouse, offered him a job as a business agent for Detroit Local 299. The union had emerged at the turn of the century to represent the rough-and-tumble teaming trade. By the early 1930s it had developed into a fragmented and poorly run affiliate of the American Federation of Labor with 40,000 members nationwide, most of whom were inner-city haulers of specialized products (like coal and ice) transitioning from horse-drawn to motor vehicles. Local 299 had only a few hundred members and was near bankruptcy. It offered Hoffa no salary, but rather a portion of the dues of each new member he signed up.
    At age twenty-one, and still living with his mother, the squat, muscular Hoffa-by then a dense five feet six inches and 170 pounds-had found his calling. He had worked for a mean-spirited boss and experienced what he later described as the workingman’s “constant insecurity, his pointless frustrations, his perpetual submersion in a pool of hopelessness.” For the rest of his life Hoffa identified with struggling workers and possessed an angry intensity about righting power imbalances in the workplace.

Which is what he did and Hoffa's son went to study to become an attorney. Using his knowledge, he was able to be voted in and became the President of the Teamsters. Being the son of Hoffa also helped, but because of his knowledge, he bent backwards for corporations instead of representing the working man.

Also can't help but give him credit for sticking to his principles at the end and trying to get the mob out of the union, to the point that it probably cost him his life. He was a complex guy, but one that I think did a lot of good.

Very smart man, but he had to win and the game was set up so that he couldn't win. I understand his motives, but I wish he would have thought of his family before making that fateful decision to take the Union back.
