The list dealt with the NY families alone and what union locals they were involved in.

HEREU Local 54 was directly controlled by Philadelphia. The Genovese involvement came early on. Leonetti testified Local 54 was created by combining smaller locals when it appeared New Jersey would legalize casino gambling. This solidified Scarfo's control over the union. But the combining of locals required the support of Ed Hanley, the president of the International Union. Scarfo reached out to his contacts in the Genovese family, who in turn reached out to the Chicago Outfit who controlled Hanley. Scarfo got Hanley's support. Once he had control of Local 54 and it's president Frank Gerace, Scarfo was able to siphon off 50% of the Local's health and welfare plan - about $20,000 a month. Some of it he split with the Genovese family for their help.

I thought Local 54 was under Scarfo/Philly Family and not the Genovese family? Unless the implication is that Scarfo was "with" or backed by the Genovese so through the transitive property Local 54 was under the Genovese via Scarfo?

Damn my union is not on here,i was hoping we were mobbed up.

IMO it's The Godfather of mob documentaries. A more recent very well done documentary series is Mafia's Greatest Hits, who I personally consider the unofficial successor of Crime Inc. And then there is also the Underworld series by NGC. These three are the best in-depth mob documentaries of the American Mafia. You can learn a lot by just having watched these series.

The umwa (mine workers) never had mob involvement but were corrupt from within... One of they're long time union presidents tough tony Boyle was compared to ordering hits just like the Mafia. He killed a few competitors and many of his men... If a local got out of line there would be mysterious explosions under ground

At this point it's going to be mostly locals involved in construction and related things like demolition, trucking, etc. Also the waterfront, particularly on the New Jersey side of the Hudson. And different miscellaneous locals here and there.

The locals in the garment center, wholesale food markets, JFK airport, and the Javits Center aren't a factor anymore. There is still mob involvement in waste hauling and recycling but the associations were replaced by the NYC Business Integrity Commission and most of the locals cleaned up.

First, I would echo what others have said about the Crime Inc. series. Probably the best ever done on the mob.

In addition to the chart I posted above on the RD forum years ago for the NY families, I also posted one for Chicago (below).

It should be noted that the Chicago LCN had extraordinary power over the national unions of the Laborers, HEREIU, and Teamsters, as well as their pension funds.

here is a good breakdown from 1978

I wonder how many of those Unions are still mobbed up lol

I knew we were ok with the IBEW

I love the Crime Inc. series. You are right that it is better than anything produced here. They were pretty gritty and violent as well with some of the footage they had on there espeically for that time.

This was a list that, I'm pretty sure it was Wiseguy, posted up on the old RD quite a while ago. Great list and probably the most complete I've seen as far as the East Coast Families go.

Not everyone enjoyed the Crime Inc series from Britain but I think they are better than anything released today. I came across this one while looking for a Fratianno clip which sparked my interest in Unions. Has there ever been a list of national mobbed up unions?

no need for a list when everyone of them is crooked
