James Hoffa
Leader of the Teamsters Union, truck drivers.
He was an Irishman from Indiana who came to Detroit, Michigan for a job.
Worked on loading docks terminal on Fort Street.
Worked his way up, the blue collar way.
And set himself he was also a racketeer with Union pension money they invested in Las Vegas gambling places.
Fought with Kennedy politicians early 1960’s.
I see nothing; I know nothing.
