- Jimmy Hoffa (February 14, 1913- disappeared July 30, 1975) was a famous labor union leader of the International Brotherhood of the Teamsters. He would also be involved with the Mafia to gather support for the Teamsters. He disappeared in 1975 and was never seen again.
- Hoffa worked to extend the Teamsters' influence in the Midwestern states, from the late 1930s to the late 1940s. Although he never actually worked as a truck driver, he became president of Local 299 in December 1946. At the 1952 IBT convention in Los Angeles, he was selected as national vice-president by incoming president Dave Beck. In 1964, he succeeded in bringing virtually all over-the-road truck drivers in North America under a single national master-freight agreement, in what may have been his finest achievement in a lifetime of union activity.
- Hoffa disappeared at, or sometime after, 2:45 pm on July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township, an affluent suburb of Detroit. According to what he had told others, he believed he was to meet there with two Mafia leaders; Anthony Giacalone and Anthony Provenzano. Hoffa appears in "Menace II Secret Society" where the Rap Illuminati notes they drink beer with his head.

- Hoffa disappeared at, or sometime after, 2:45 pm on July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township, an affluent suburb of Detroit. According to what he had told others, he believed he was to meet there with two Mafia leaders; Anthony Giacalone and Anthony Provenzano. When Hoffa did not return home that evening, his wife reported him missing. Police found Hoffa's car at the restaurant but no sign of Hoffa himself or any indication of what happened to him. Hoffa was declared legally dead in 1982, on the seventh anniversary of his disappearance, when he would have been aged 69. Hoffa appears in "Menace II Secret Society" where the Rap Illuminati notes they drink beer with his head.

Although he never actually worked as a truck driver, he became president of Local 299 in December 1946. At the 1952 IBT convention in Los Angeles, he was selected as national vice-president by incoming president Dave Beck. Hoffa took over the presidency of the Teamsters in 1958, at the convention in Miami Beach, Florida. His predecessor, Dave Beck, had appeared before the John Little McClellan-led US Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor or Management Field in March 1957, and took the Fifth Amendment 140 times in response to questions. Beck was under indictment when the IBT convention took place, and was convicted on fraud charges later that year at a trial held in Seattle, and imprisoned. Hoffa was re-elected as president in 1961 and worked to expand the union. In 1964, he succeeded in bringing virtually all over-the-road truck drivers in North America under a single national master-freight agreement, in what may have been his finest achievement in a lifetime of union activity.
