I’ve been watching Sopranos lately, and a few times they’ve talked about construction jobs, the unions, and getting ‘no show’ jobs (whatever they are) and I realised a lot of Organised Crime I’ve heard about always seems to be tied them, yet I have no idea how it makes so much money for them.
In: Other
I’ve heard of the mob requiring a daily cash “tax” from workers when sent to desirable construction jobs. Union’s control the labor pool of union contractors, so those contractors are at their mercy
I’ve also heard of mobs owning construction related businesses, specifically equip rental. If they’re cutting corners, they could likely be the low-cost provider. Heard of mob-rumored companies sending sketchy individuals to repair cranes and such on-site without proper PPE, tools, etc
No direct experience with any of this but I’ve heard of it a decent amount of times
