James Riddle Hoffa
Labor's Hall of Fame Induction, September 30, 1999

 

     James R. Hoffa negotiated contracts that propelled a generation of struggling workers into the middle class. Under his leadership, millions of Teamsters were able to achieve the American dream.
   Hoffa's crowning achievement, the negotiation of the 1964 National Master Freight Agreement, ranks as one of the greatest accomplishments in U.S. labor history.
  Working families everywhere are living better lives because their wages and benefits are tied to Teamster contracts.
  Today's 1.4 million Teamsters are fighting to protect the gains won for working families by building on the proud legacy of General President James R. Hoffa.
