- renewiltord 3y agoHaha, well warranted, I think. Sean O'Brien succeeded James Hoffa - son of the infamous Jimmy Hoffa. So the mob connections are not too far away there.

- boppo1 3y agoPlease expand on why you think the teamsters are essentially irish and italian mafia.
- renewiltord 3y agoTony Pro was national vice president of the Teamsters while caporegime in the Genovese family. And there was Jimmy Hoffa, of course. They were quite heavily involved in organized crime at the time, with their top leaders being literally in the Mafia. They frequently show up in films covering the time. So it doesn't seem outlandish. Hoffa is the one that built it into a powerhouse. It's unsurprising that he remains the known face of the union. A Hoffa ran it for a third of its entire age.
