>off-the-books workers
Yawn. Maybe this was sensational 40 years ago but now nearly every industry in america is staffed to some degree with undocumented workers. to think otherwise is fooling yourself into believing your italian restaurant experience wasnt fulfilled at great personal effort by a team of central or south american chefs.
>a union once run by a mobster
James Bernardone was sentenced to two years in prison for mob kickbacks relating to the construction industry, but his connection with the mafia is arguable and he is often seen as the government pounding any nail they can find to "send a message" to organized crime in New York. Many other industries require kickbacks. Lawyers, politicians, and certainly the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries all partake in and benefit from lucrative kickbacks that are simply never discussed because "business" is somehow more credible than "mafia" in the context of illicit gains.
Bernardone still receies a pension. Shocking in this day and age we've identified an industry that isnt complicit in grinding men to dust at the command of societies lust for biblical retribution after having served their prison sentence. most reformed criminals exiting the penal system are stripped of their voting right, barred from employment, and relegated to relapsing into the criminal system they were ostensibly rehabilitated from.
