Concessions to favored, mob-connected companies allowing them advantages in bidding or allowing them to hire nonunion workers to avoid paying overtime or benefits.

Contracts steered to mob-owned businesses.

Mob figures, with the help of compliant union officials and workers, slowing down work or delivery of supplies to extort money from disfavored contractors.

Mob members and associates, or their relatives, being put on union payrolls without having to work.

Pension and health and welfare fund trustees being influenced to favor mob interests.

Oh I remember one:

Hiring less members than what is required. For example, an Operator would need one or two Oilers for Operating a Crane. Maybe hire just one or No Oilers.

Also paying different classification such as instead of Paying Operator I Class the Company Pay Operator IV Class.

A lot. The Vegas skim was born out of control of unions.

It depends how much control they have and what time period we're talking about. For example in Buffalo the whole crime family was structured around their control of Local 210. The feds ran an operation for over a decade to force them out and that was one of the main reasons for the organization to crumble shortly afterwards.

It was a similar situation with the DeCavalcantes and their control of LIUNA Locals 394 and 1030. That was their bread and butter racket.
