More on James P. Hoffa
Description from Wikipedia:
James Phillip Hoffa (May 19, 1941) is an American attorney and labor leader and the General President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Hoffa was first elected in December 1998 and took office on March 19, 1999. He was subsequently re-elected in 2001 and 2006 to five-year terms.
As General President, Hoffa has focused on building Teamster power through collective bargaining and growth through organizing. Since Hoffa has been General President, workers at United Parcel Service and in the freight and carhaul industries have won significant wage increases, strong health care and secure pensions.
In recent years, Hoffa has led a resurgence in organizing at the Teamsters resulting in a net increase of members in 2007, the first year of net growth in the union in nearly three decades. Recent significant organizing victories include more than 12,000 workers at UPS Freight, 9,000 mechanics at United Airlines and 10,000 school bus drivers at First Student. The union added more than 40,000 new members in 2008.
Hoffa is also a leading voice for fair trade policies and a wide-range of worker-friendly legislation.
On February 20, 2008, Hoffa became the first major union leader to endorse Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) in his bid for President of the United States. Hoffa actively campaigned in key swing states for Obama throughout the primary and general election. He served as a superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver and a member of the Michigan Electoral College.
He is the only son of Jimmy Hoffa, who was also a president of the Teamsters, and his wife Josephine (neé Poszywak). He is the brother of Judge Barbara Ann Crancer. Hoffa has a wife, Virginia, and two sons, David and Geoffrey.
