Jimmy Hoffa - 170,000 Members

Time: 1936

Place: Washington D.C., U.S.

Details: As a result of Hoffa's work with other union leaders to consolidate local union trucker groups into regional sections, and then into a national body—work that Hoffa ultimately completed over a period of two decades—membership grew to 170,000 members by 1936. Three years later, there were 420,000.
