how does organised crime make money from construction/unions and what are ‘no shows’?

538 viewsOther

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.

A no show job is exactly what it sounds like.  It is a job where a person is carried on the books as an employee. They get a pay check, they get benefits, and anything else a normal employee gets.  They just never show up to work.   
For a mafioso that gives them some  legit income to report to the government for tax purposes.
