James Hoffa Jr. in Gary, Indiana

My old man has been in the Teamsters for 30-plus years and a Union Steward for several years now - i grew up with the mystique of Jimmy Hoffa and the union traditions - so getting to document this event was quite a treat. Hoffa visited Local 142 in Gary and rallied the proverbial troops for Obama on Thursday morning.

For me - and i think my dad will agree - is a very classic image of Hoffa - really could be him or his father in this picture

Teamsters like to have their picture taken and signs autographed

and Rudy showed up.........

Walking into the rally
