[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1262584, member: 42270"] The tradition against informing in organized labor began long before elements of La Cosa Nostra infiltrated unions. Businesses often hired private detectives (Pinkertons) and paid stool pigeons to infiltrate labor unions for purposes of espionage and/or outright disruption. This was during the same time period when hired gun thugs were literally murdering strikers and organizers seemingly at will; these rules against informing could literally be the difference between life and death in the early 1900's.
