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.....

My mom went to college with Jimmy Hoffa's nephew.

(this random fact brought to you by the following sponsors)

Jimmy Hoffa! I want to know how it ends.

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :

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.
