The Teamsters grew to the behemoth they are today because of Jimmy Hoffa in the 70s, who was heavily connected to the mafia and eventually gunned down.

> Jimmy Hoffa [...] eventually gunned down.

I just want to clarify that we don't know if he was specifically gunned down. He was declared dead years after he went missing. The exact circumstances of his presumed death aren't known, but it's generally believed to be the mob that did it.

And? That doesn't invalidate anything the Teamsters do or have done IMO.
