As for my own opinion: extremely mixed. Hoffa was a brand of trade union bureaucrat that really doesn't exist anymore - the militant bureaucrat. He safely guarded the right to strike over grievances, and wasn't afraid to fight, to a point. Of course, his gangster-ties and use of mob violence to suppress opponents within the IBT is disgusting and unforgivable, but that kind of goes without saying. He's a lot like John L. Lewis, actually. A strangely militant, conservative union bureaucrat.
