There might be something to that. After the 2011 Colombo bust, there was a government memo that talked about the Gambinos and Luccheses meeting about who would possibly take control of Concrete Workers Union Local 6A.

Do you have a link to that?

I don't recall if it was discussed here or the old RD forum but it was from a leaked June 2011 FBI memo (same wikileaks that gave us the info about Joey Merlino's associates in south Florida) that said a representative from the Gambino family had met with a Lucchese captain and soldiers to discuss the Gambino's desire to control Local 6A.

With your info, I was able to find the link by searching wikileaks:

DC16 which is the umbrella is a Luchese dominated District Council and Labarbera is related to Big Mike Labarbera who was in control and indicted for Laborers local 66 years back. Gary Labarbera was a big shot years ago in Teamsters local 282 i think during the jailing of Gotti and Gravano who he reported to

And it's that very thing that makes sweetheart deals with the mob so attractive for some contractors. Make a payoff and/or provide some no-show jobs and they save a ton of money and increase their profit margin since they are allowed to hire non-union workers at a fraction of the cost and not contribute to union pension and healthcare funds.

Exactly, this shows that the Colombo's still have ways to make big $ even though they have been reduced in size of late.
Also shows why the NYC families will continue on. These rackets are so deeply entrenched, seems they will always be
there for them.

this was a Colombo scheme the article is referring to?

A coffee boy-related scheme was part of the big Colombo indictment in 2011 and facilitated through their control of the Concrete Workers Union. You can read about it at the article below.

Even though Scopo was removed, and it remains to be seen the level of ongoing mob control of the union, that doesn't necessarily mean all the shenanigans have stopped.
