Former president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
Born: February 14, 1913
Died: July 30, 1982

Jimmy Hoffa, born James Riddle Hoffa on February 14, 1913, was an influential American labor union leader. He rose to prominence as the President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), one of the largest and most powerful labor unions in the United States, serving from 1957 to 1971. Hoffa’s leadership style was often characterized by his aggressive tactics and willingness to confront management to secure better wages and working conditions for his members.

However, his tenure as union president was marred by allegations of corruption and ties to organized crime. Despite his achievements in advancing the rights of workers, Hoffa’s association with the mafia and his criminal activities led to his downfall. In 1967, he was convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery, and fraud, resulting in an 8-year prison sentence.

Hoffa’s mysterious disappearance in 1975 further cemented his legacy as one of the most enigmatic figures in American history. Though his fate remains unresolved, theories abound regarding his presumed murder, with speculation ranging from mob involvement to disputes within the labor movement. Despite his controversial legacy, Hoffa’s impact on labor relations in the United States continues to be studied and debated to this day.

Jimmy Hoffa’s 5 most popular quotes

• I’ve said consistently that no employer ever really accepts a union. They tolerate the unions. The very minute they can get a pool of unemployment, they’ll challenge the unions and try to get back what they call management’s prerogatives, meaning hire, fire, and pay what you want.
• I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again. The strong survive and the weak disappear. We do not intend to disappear.
• Don’t let any man into your cab, your home, or your heart, unless he’s a friend of labor.
• In the old days, all you needed was a handshake. Nowadays, you need forty lawyers.
• There are simply no public figures today who so challenge the elite business and government establishment and so champion the working class as Jimmy Hoffa did almost daily and with arrogance.
