Putting Hands on a Member

[stubbs]

That’s one of the reasons I hated The Irishman movie: No way someone like Hoffa could put his hands on a captain like Tony Pro with no consequences.

That did happen. And there were consequences.

He did that in real life? Hard to know what was true since so much of that movie was bullshit.

Sheeran's isn't the only account that has this story. Pretty much everyone that's written about Hoffa attested to this. Not sure if it's any informant's files to corroborate or not but the claim is not Sheeran's solely, that's for sure. Tony Pro was the actual president of that local in Jersey. He did tv interviews. He wanted people to think he was legit. It's not hard to believe he'd shun one of the very antiquated rules of the mob for the sake of business.
