My old man loved Jimmy Hoffa. [View all]

My dad was a hardworking, honest blue collar worker. He worked on the loading docks. He was very tough guy. I remember my dad telling me when I was a teenager back in the 70s he did not care if Hoffa was doing something crooked on the side. He only cared about this. He told me Hoffa would do anything for the working man. He would and did give the shirt off his back for the working man.

Are the politicians clean, are the rich clean, are the corporations clean, Only unions have to be clean? My old man had a deep old school honesty about him. My old man knew life was a fight.
