He’s Not Allowed To Pursue Leadership
After being in prison for 4 years, President Richard Nixon offered an exchange to Hoffa. The president commuted Hoffa given the condition that he could not pursue any form of leadership under a particular union. But with Hoffa’s pride and eagerness to get back to leadership, he just smirked this rule that was given to him. His willingness was not shaken off by this agreement. That is why in 1973, Hoffa was already planning to retake all the control he had with the company Teamsters.
Lost His Supporters
Unfortunately for Hoffa, after his time in prison, he lost all the support he had back when he was still in the company. Hoffa’s criminal indictment was the primary reason why his earlier supporters had disappeared. Due to having all his supporters in the company lost its competence in the union itself, there was extreme resistance from the union heads to approve his newly proposed campaign. But despite all these inequities, his former union associates have proved to be the least of his worries for the meantime.
