Zagri's job is to kill the labor-reform bill inspired by the Hoffa scandals, or at the least to eliminate the parts Hoffa does not like. Though not ready for action when the Kennedy-Ervin bill passed the Senate, Zagri made his hefty presence (6 ft., 216 lbs.) felt soon after the bill landed last April in the House Education and Labor Committee.

In Brownsville, Texas, Jimmy Hoffa, president of the thug-ridden International Brotherhood of Teamsters, threatened anarchy if the Kennedy-Ervin bill is made law.
