Wow that 1989 hit was possibly a serious power move by the West side . I wonder if it was ever answered and / or was ok’d by the Gambinos ?

Seems like the heat is being turned back on for union corruption lately

I didn't realize how many Ila locals there were NON MARITIME , I thought that new style of bribery/ Extortion was smart but pretty pathetic! I'll rat you out, I'll tell on you to the board with the arbitration claims BS unless you gimme my TICKETS . What a pathetic load of BS ! Wtf is the point of being a Gangster? These guys will stoop to any length/Low . Harold Daggett is still the President of the Ila , I didn't realize that either. I'm trying to find info on that local after that Gambino takeover and 1989 hit

I've never been able to find much info about mob connections with Local 1964.

Around that time there was tension between the Genovese and Gambinos regarding the Jersey waterfront. Traditionally Genovese territory and the Gambinos were trying to get their foot in. Supposedly it was one reason for Bobby Manna plotting to take out John and Gene Gotti.

But I don't know if any if this was connected to Local 1964.

I didn't even know That some of the beef with the hit on Gotti by Manna was over the waterfront . I couldnt find anything else either regarding Loc.1964 after that 89 hit . I wonder who's in charge today over that local after the bribery arrest ?

I believe it was connected to when Local 1588 execs John DiGilio (a Genovese associate) and others were indicted. Most of them were convicted, and it opened up a leadership spot for Gambino associate. This naturally pissed off the Genovese family. I don't recall all the particulars but DiGilio fell out if favor too and ended being shot to death and dumped in a river. Anyway, this is partly what led to Manna's recorded restaurant conversation about killing the Gottis.

I gotta go back and do some reading, This was all around the time they all had notorious guys operating out there Bobby Cabert I think was the Gambino captain out there at the time , My mind is shot . I remember the Digilio thing, Some of it ! I always thought he was inducted , Yea they found him floating in the hackensack . Man, If that hit went down on John and his brothers without interference, I hate the Gottis !

If the hit went down as planned the world would be a much better place and 2 great men would be enjoying their twilight years with their families instead of dying in prison. I say 2 because I didn’t know Casella personally and he already died in prison. I heard he was a stand up guy.

Here here!! I’ll never forget Greg Rago’s goofy celly Shawn always calling him “Mullberry Street”. One day Allie Boy was pissed about something and he heard Shawn call him that. He told him to shut the fuck up, the guy is from fucking Jersey!! Keep it the fuck up and I’ll send you back there right before I bomb the whole fucking street full of those jerkoff’s. It’s one of the few times I seen Bobby laugh out loud. The fucking guy is a stone!!!

You may be right about DiGilio being made. I don't remember exactly. Either way, he apparently pissed off the Genovese higher ups and ended up as fish food.

DiGilio was a Bonanno associate on record with Joe Zicarelli in Bayonne who transferred to the Genovese family where he later became a member.
