The Teamsters, Laborers, Hotel and Restaurant Workers, and International Longshoremen’s Association have repeatedly been so charged by the U.S. Department of Justice and various congressional investigating committees. Most recently, the President’s Commission on Organized Crime has reported on the criminal infiltration of these four unions, including several local unions of the Teamsters in New York City and has declared that “organized crime’s influence” in the Laborers’ union ‘is most extensive at the local level. This control is particularly concentrated in large cities, such as Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, and New York as well as smaller cities such as in New Jersey.” The President’s Commission on Organized Crime, “The Edge: Organized Crime, Business and Labor Unions,”Report to the President and the Attorney General (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1986), sections 5 and 6. The quotation is from Section 6, p. 149. For additional information on racketeering control of construction unions, see Corruption and Racketeering in the New York City Construction Industry, Interim Report of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force (New York, June 1987).
