Who are "the Irish?" Joe Biden? Liam Neeson? The Lucky Charms Leprechaun?

Daggert and crew of course, very powerful . I have No clue what you mean by the other references so I can’t comment.

The WTC is under tremendous pressure right now as they are being blamed for the port labor shortage. it’s getting very ugly

Exactly. Jerry Capeci is turning into Alite and Jimmy Calandra.

Next weeks Gangland News about Jimmy Calandra and Paulie Galino getting free candy at Nick’s Candy store on Bath Ave.

I don’t think the WTC lasts ,

Total speculation but I still think someone got in Christie’s ear after the Port strike that we need to come to a common understanding with these guys to ensure it runs smoothly.

Seems mostly WASPS at the international level.

I don't see evidence for remaining involvement in the Florida locals.

In the New York/New Jersey area, most of the ILA locals are run by Italians. Local 824 in Manhattan and 920 in Staten Island are headed by Italians but they are small and pretty inconsequential and no real evidence of mob involvement. 1814 in Brooklyn, with a long history of Gambino control, hasn't had any cases in over 15 years.

From what I can tell, the remaining mob presence is in New Jersey where mainly the Genovese family still has clout. Locals 1, 1235 and 1478 are run by Italians. 1233 is the black local. 1804-1 is Daggets's local. It seems the membership of 1588, which has a Spanish president, was successful at taking the local back.

I don't see the Waterfront Commission going anywhere.

I have no idea if WTC lasts but NJ govt wants them out as it’s become too important to the economy and is at a disadvantage vs other ports
