Hoffa was murdered at the behest of organized crime figures, who regarded his efforts to regain power within the Teamsters as a threat to their control of the union's pension fund never found but they do say he is buried beneath the old giants football stadium under Section 107 but the film tells a different story i like the urban legend the best

the urban legend was discredited on 'mythbusters' a couple of years back, and it was featured on BBC News. they did ground xrays and sound echo's etc. there was nothing there. bit like Rico's brain scan.

We could have announced a strike of say a whole week. The key element is timing though and the idea would be the threat of a whole week without anything being delivered would force either major change in Rico's plans to destroy RM or his own resignation. It would be a game of chicken with the intention that we would not actually go on strike.
Of course this is all blown out of the water now though with TP relying on a Labour government which is fairly unlikely to occur. No point in striking after Xmas so it is all downhill from here.
