Teamsters union boss James R. Hoffa vanished in 1975 and his death has never been solved
He disappeared after arranging a meeting with the mafia in Detroit
Now, Fox Nation says it may have found where he was secretly buried
It is a landfill site in New Jersey that was formerly owned by mobsters
The son of one of those mobsters claims Hoffa was stuffed in a steel barrel and put in the ground, beneath other barrels

ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The International Brotherhood of Teamsters will host a call Monday, Feb. 1 at 12 p.m. ET to update investors and analysts of the ongoing lockout by Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC) of unionized workers at the company s St. Paul Park refinery. Nearly 200 workers at the St. Paul Park refinery, represented by Teamsters Local 120, were locked out of the facility on Friday, January 22 following a 24-hour unfair labor practice strike and unconditional offer to return to work.
Teamster representatives will provide an update on the status and issues at the mediation table, recent customer losses, and potential fuel supply constraints for regional Speedway and Marathon service stations. Representatives will also discuss safety hazards to employees and the surrounding community of the St. Paul Park refinery caused by the lockout.
A Penn State history professor, who is writing a book about the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, doubts the deathbed confessions of a mob associate that became the plot of the book âI Heard You Paint Housesâ and the movie âThe Irishman.â
At the end of his life, Frank âThe Irishmanâ Sheeran, a former Hoffa loyalist and self-professed mafia hit man, purportedly confessed to killing Hoffa in 1975 on the orders of mob boss Russell Bufalino of Kingston.
âIâm very skeptical of Frank Sheeranâs claims,â professor David Witwer said during a virtual presentation on Hoffa hosted by Penn State Wilkes-Barre. âThere are lots of problems with Frank Sheeranâs account. There is no evidence he was the prolific hit man he claimed to be.â
Labor Secretary Nominee Walsh is Soft on Union Violence and Corruption

Marty Walsh
When Joe Biden campaigned for president, he vowed to be “the most pro-union president you’ve ever seen.” He wasn’t kidding. His nominee for labor secretary, Marty Walsh, once headed a union himself. And for these past seven years, as mayor of Boston, he has displayed a tendency to look past criminal activity by certain local unions. Moreover, since his January 7 nomination, evidence has emerged that he diverted over a million dollars over the years from his campaign coffers to a boutique consulting firm for which his girlfriend works. The payments recently have risen to nearly $15,000 a month, accounting for over half of the company’s revenues. Such behavior suggests serious conflicts of interest, an issue that needs to be addressed at Senate confirmation hearings.
