Need to read a biography on a labor union leader.

I have to choose from the following :
Samuel Gompers
Bill Haywood
John L. Lewis
Sidney Hillman
Walter Reuther
George Meany
A. Phillip Randolph
Jimmy Hoffa
Jackie Presser
Tony Boyle

Biographies of other labor leaders are acceptable.....

Well, I went to Samuel Gompers High, and it was really really boring. So I'd choose a different person.

If I were to choose a labor leader whose biography I'd want to read, it'd probably be Cesar Chavez.

Oooh, yeah, Cesar Chavez. Isn't 500 S. named after him?

It's a shame that "Everyone is Different" really isn't a biography.
