A Trash Industry Union Thrives, and Employees Say They Are Left Holding the Bag

One of the biggest unions in New York’s private garbage industry is run by a man with a long record of run-ins with the authorities, and its vice president is a convicted felon. Many workers say it’s a union in name only. When Carl Orlando began work as a driver for the private trash hauler Liberty Ashes in July 2015, the job quickly proved punishing.

Very interesting, thanks

[Wiseguy]

There's been several articles on LIFE 890 over the past few years. Obviously a sham union but, like this most recent article said, the BIC doesn't have any regulatory authority over unions at this point. Best it can do is look more closely at the companies doing business with it.

This is all a ploy by the "deBlasio fan club", Teamsters 813 and their crooked political cohorts. BIC, the Mayor and the NYPD began a "crackdown" last week on all private sanitation trucks. Meanwhile, their own sanitation trucks, the DSNY, kill and maim people daily, destroy property and are mechanically unsafe, yet they service the 5 boroughs unchecked, unscrutinized and without backlash or consequences. Why won't the newspapers talk about Teamsters 813 and their defiance of immigration laws by hiring illegal aliens? The NYC private sanitation industry is now policed by the following agencies..
BIC
NYPD
NYPD Highway Units 1-5
State Police
TBTA/MTA
Port Authority
Transit Police
At what point do people realize we've got an issue with redundancy here? And why this latest crackdown? One word....FRANCHISING.
NYC spent BILLIONS eradicating the mob from the trash indistry. They claimed the mob colluded on pricing, rigged bids and partook in what they referred to as "property rights schemes". Franchising is exactly that. The city claims it's for environmental reasons, of course, they even said everyone is getting cancer from all the excessive fumes. Lol...Bullshit!. It's so they can increase their organization, secure their own jobs and add more government jobs. They strive to over-regulate and control every aspect of a once privately run industry and use the threat of licensure revocation to achieve that.
Franchising has failed in many other large congested cities across the nation. What it is, is sectioning off areas of the city where only one contractor can service that particular area. Contractors are limited as to how high they can bid (price fixed and set by the city). Isn't that what Jimmy Brown Failla did along with "The Association"? This year, Ponte gets the WTC, Next year, Phil Barretti gets it. These politicans are all full of shit, so when you see these articles written by ProPublica, NY Daily News, or any other bought and paid for NYC rag, know this....its all about their own preservation, not yours.

And notice, all the ProPublica articles are written by a woman named Kiera Feldman. She is a stark raving liberal democrat and deBlasio supporter. She and Sean Campbell head of Teamsters 813 are very chummy lately. I wonder why that is? The two of them support deBlasio and of course.....FRANCHISING.
Political BS, my friends. All about the power, the jobs and the continuance of both.

So your saying that we should ignore the facts that she did present simply because she's a shill for the Dems? I guess it wouldn't hurt if we let the LCN take control again since the government is just as corrupt. The whole industry stinks to high heaven. See what I did there.

Garbageman, I'm aware of the both the hypocrisy on the part of the city (don't even get me started with gambling), as well as these articles being written by a bunch of libs (who always go hand-in-hand with the unions).

However, just looking at LIFE 890 objectively (I don't have a dog in this fight) it doesn't look good. The shady way they run it. The reputation of some of the companies they work with. Administrative costs (i.e. bloated salaries) making up almost half of the health care fund’s expenses. And guys like Capone and Todisco who have a history with the Kings County Trade Waste Association. And we all know who ran that.

GarbageMan, you make compelling arguements in your favor.
DeBlasio is using the gov't to control the NYC sani
business in the same way the mob did. Big gov't
is corrupt as a motherfucker!!! Always had been,
always will be. I am not advocating FOR the mob
here, just saying both systems were/are corrupt.

I'm just thrilled that I finally get to participate in the group after years of faithful lurking hahahaha.
I just get trigg'd like an eye twitching snowflake at this particular subject. Thanks for letting me vent lol

[Garbageman]

What they did to friends of mine in this business is unconscionable. Stripping licensure and giving customers away. Zero due process. Sanitation Salvage was lucky to get their license reinstated. Unfortunately, 75% of their lifes work was gone by the time they did. This was the most recent "emergency suspension" this cunt Feldman and ProPublica squawked about for months. Meanwhile, the city's own trucks were mowing down pedestrians and cyclists on a weekly basis. Nothing.
And another private carting company name GUMA (owned by our Shabbos non-goyim counterpsrts) never once has gotten a truck impounded or put out of service by the umpteen law enforcement agencies even once. Yet their equipment is the shittiest in the city. Go figure that one out.

[Wiseguy]

Speaking of the BIC, this is what I have for companies denied an operating license between 2000 and the present due to LCN-related issues like racketeering, associating with LCN members and associates, fronting for LCN members, making or accepting payoffs as part of the LCN garbage cartel, commercial bribery, illegal dumping and other environmental violations, theft, assault, arson, falsifying business records, operating without a license, transporting trade waste without a license, failure to provide information, providing false or misleading testimony, failure to pay taxes, etc.

Dozens of dangerous private garbage trucks pulled from NYC streets

Nearly every private garbage truck inspected by the NYPD during a week-long crackdown had to be taken off the streets over dangerous infractions, officials said Wednesday. All but 10 of the 142 private clunkers inspected between Oct. 28 and Nov. 4 had to be taken out of service over malfunctioning brakes, faulty steering columns and low tire pressure, authorities said. “We had no problem finding violations,” Chief Terence Monahan said Wednesday. The NYPD says the broken-down trucks have caused the deaths of at least 20 people since 2016.

You're list is missing one company. M&C Waste Services. Owned by a pedophile arrested in August of 2008 in Westchester NY by the FBI during and undercover sting. The owner, Charles Hughes, was released a short time after his arrest when he figured a way out of doing possibly 25 - 30 years in prison for his offense. That way was informing his captors that he was in the garbage business all his life and he could make cases for the feds. 32 got arrested, roughly 13 had their charges dropped after it was revealed the single cooperating witness was arrested for pedophilia.
I sure wish this BIC would've included M&C Waste Services in that list, because they knowingly participated in that 4 year investigation and issued that sick sexual predator a BIC license #3312 to go out and terrorize the 5 boroughs. Steal from long time haulers in good standing, borrow money off wiseguys and purposely not pay them back, try and seek protection from a washed up NJ strip club owner, but guns, coke, cigarettes...whatever the rat could do to rope in cases. I was happy to find out, in the end, that one of those people cracked him in the side of his head with a bat, leaving him with a detached cornea and blind for life. They never did find that guy. I have a photo of the bat used in the attack. The perpetrator left it in the front seat of Mr Hughes' garbage truck as a message, after he caved his skull in with it. How do I have this photo? It was part of the discovery.
Yeah, I'm that mad still. But I'll never allow what this lowlife did to affect my ability to enjoy life every single day....with two good eyes

I wonder how many DSNY owned vehicles would be placed out of service for low tire pressure, steering columns with a little play in them, one brake out of 6 or two out of 8 that was out of adjustment, or a leak that was observed? I bet lots. And yet, they roll every night and never a complaint.
I've had friends of mine inspected with a truck which was 2 hours off the dealers lot and the driver said to the inspecting cop "we just picked it up off the lot, it's still got temp tags" and the cop told his partner "watch me put this truck out of service"... and he did. He found two air lines that were touching one another without having hose coverings or hose "loom" protecting them. Point is, it's easy to find an out of service violation when you want to, especially when in less than 24 hours, you're mayor is announcing his new "franchising proposal" as a direct result of so-called "on going safety issues amongst our private sanitation industry"
As they say...."nigga please." This is a pure and simple political shit-show. And how can anyone argue against safety? Well played deblasio, just like the gangster mobsters they locked up, they used fear to accomplish their goal.

Wiseguy and willychichi, I know I sounded like I was answering directly to the both of you. I want you to both know I was responding to the data and news presented in your posts, not at the both of you personally. When I get rolling, it's just easier to type like I would speak. Thank you. You're great guys and I enjoy reading the stuff you all post here.
