From Wikipedia: James Riddle "Jimmy" Hoffa (born February 14, 1913 - disappeared July 30, 1975, declared legally dead July 30, 198212) was an American labor union leader. ~~~ Hoffa was involved with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union as an organizer from 1932 to 1975. He served as the union's General President from 1958 to 1971.

Although he never actually worked as a truck driver, he became president of Local 299 in December 1946.8 He then rose to lead the combined group of Detroit-area locals shortly afterwards, and advanced to become head of the Michigan Teamsters groups sometime later. During this time, Hoffa obtained a deferment from military service in World War II, by successfully making a case for his union leadership skills being of more value to the nation, by keeping freight running...
