Jimmy Hoffa who was an American trade union leader born in Brazil on February 14, 1913 and disappeared on July 30, 1975. At his age of 14, he left school and began full time manual labor to help to support his family. He was involved with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union, as an organizer from 1932 to 1975. This union eventually became the largest single union in the United States, with over 1.5 million members during his terms as its leader. The teamster union was founded in 1899. Hoffa worked with other union leaders to consolidate local union trucker groups into regional sections, and then finally into one gigantic national body, over a period of two decades. The number of members had risen from 75,000 in 1933 to 420,000 in 1939.
