Talk:William D. Robinson

Why is Jimmy Hoffa's view important in the first place?
Hoffa is not an expert on American labor in the 18th and 19th Centuries, he was not a labor historian at all. He's simply a famous person who read something somewhere once and — absolutely incorrectly — said something else. Lots of famous people say wrong things all the time, but we rightfully don't document erroneous statements by non-experts in WP. That would be trivia.

What Robinson HAS been rightfully called is the "father of the American rail brotherhood system" and the founder of the first American RAILWAY union — which is what our emphasis should be.

I'm gonna pull the Hoffa bit from the article again; I won't fight ya on the matter if you bring it back for a third time — although I can't for the life of me understand why you would do that. Carrite (talk) 15:03, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
