[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 400148, member: 4653"] C'mom on TIE, There is no such thing as the mafia! Yes I'm joking but they're a shell of their former selve's. Its so watered down now and the FBI along with relaxed wiretap guidelines and the RICO statue has decimated the once very powerful syndicate. Yes it still exists, but they don't have to power to influence the labor organizations as they did in the past. I'm sure some corruption still exists because of mafia influence, but the days of using the teamster pension fund to build luxury hotels are long gone. I know I went on a tangent there TIE, but I wanted to show I understand your point. We can't paint management with the broad dishonest brush just as we can't paint the teamster officials with the same way. Do you think labor racketeering is as prevalent as it was during the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's? It scares me to think that it could still exist at that degree today. I belong to a union in which its former president is in jail for giving health and welfare benefits to people who did not work in the union. The health and pension is struggling enough. It didn't need to give benefits to people who never contributed. This really ticked me off and has not allowed me to be a "union man" 100%. I feel like its everyman for himself when our own president is giving away benefits that our union members worked so hard for! Can you agree with me? [/QUOTE]
