Jimmy Hoffa - Part One


Listen Later

Jimmy Hoffa was a labor union activist that rose through the ranks in the Teamster Organization to eventually become president. He started off as a simple laborer in Detroit, the city that he always considered home, and eventually became a nationally known name. Jimmy Hoffa led a life many cannot imagine, which includes his involvement with organized crime and working with many Mafia families. This and his criminal record could have easily lead to his downfall, but no one truly knows. Today, we discuss who he was, his criminal history and his feud with a VERY well-known attorney. Come back for part two to discuss his disappearance and all the theories of what really happened.
