ILA strike

Post by Brovelli »

Big news going on but interesting I read that George barone and others have spoken about daggett who is head of the ILA. Would be interesting to speculate how much mob influence and who would be involved if any. Genovese family big influence in ILA so could be looking to cash in some way out of this negotiation

Looks like Daggett and the ILA are looking for a new six-year contract with pretty big wage increases over that time.
All roads lead to New York.

He was also a defendent in 2005 with Lawrence ricci who was killed before trial. You would expect the links remain strong. Though daggett was found not guilty in that trial I should note

Oh they have. Here's Twitter/X owner Elon Musk mass-sharing a tweet idiotically claiming that Ricci was killed to protect Daggett.

Here's an older tweet relevant to the above matter.

In testimony before the Waterfront Commission in 2003, John Bowers quoted a wiseguy as telling him, “We hope you stay forever. But if you ever leave, I would kill to see Harold Daggett become president.”

Just curious what reason do you think Ricci was killed? LE still seems to think it was to protect Daggett. I've seen there was possibly a issue with in his crew, but never seen what/who.

Another reason floated at the time was that Ricci was talking too much about the Genovese plan to move in on Philly. Remember this was only a few years removed from the Genovese-Gambino backed plot to kill Ligambi, Mazzone and Borgesi. Like so many of these hits I’m sure there were multiple reasons behind it.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Interesting. I figured there was a few reasons, and enough was enough.

Wasn't it mainly because he refused to take a plea deal as ordered, and because of an unrelated power struggle in his crew? I'm sure there were other reasons as is usually the case.

Anyway, people all over Twitter are claiming that Daggett was the main witness in that trial against Ricci, and he was acquitted because Ricci was killed before he could testify against him in that trial (like in the viral tweet Musk shared: https://x.com/mualphaxi/status/1841148551646286258). They were actually codefendants and were acquitted together (Ricci was acquitted posthumously, lol).

Why does law enforcement think that he was killed to protect Daggett? Just curious as to their reasoning. He wasn't cooperating or anything, as far as I know.

That's the other part that didn't really make sense was he was a Co-Defendant. I haven't seen him as cooperator. Would him taking a plea have helped Daggett in anyway? I think LE just has a hard on for him at this point.

Was a long time ago and my memory's hazy but I seem to think they had a policy at the time, just plea out in all cases? The story goes that they told him to take a plea on the case and he didn't so they trunk music'd him.

I think the idea was that they did not want a Genovese mobster sitting at the defence table next to the man that they planned on pushing as the next ILA President. At the time of the trial, Daggett was only the Assistant General Organizer and President of ILA Local 1804-1. As per Barone’s testimony, the West Side had really been campaigning for Daggett to takeover following John Bowers.
