Product Information
The first book to document organized crime's exploitation of organized labor and the massive federal cleanup effort Nowhere in the world has organized crime infiltrated the labor movement as effectively as in the United States. Yet the government, the AFL-CIO, and the civil liberties community all but ignored the situation for most of the twentieth century. Since 1975, however, the FBI, Department of Justice, and the federal judiciary have relentlessly battled against labor racketeering, even in some of the nation's most powerful unions. Mobsters, Unions, and Feds is the first book to document organized crime's exploitation of organized labor and the massive federal cleanup effort. A renowned criminologist who for twenty years has been assessing the government's attack on the Mafia, James B. Jacobs explains how Cosa Nostra families first gained a foothold in the labor movement, then consolidated their power through patronage, fraud, and violence and finally used this power to become part of the political and economic power structure of Twentieth century urban America. Since FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's death in 1972, federal law enforcement has aggressively investigated and prosecuted labor racketeers, as well as utilized the civil remedies provided for by the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) statute to impose long-term court-supervised remedial trusteeships on mobbed-up unions. There have been some impressive victories, including substantial progress toward liberating the four most racketeer-ridden national unions from the grip of organized crime, but victory cannot yet be claimed. The only book to investigate how the mob has exploited the American labor movement, Mobsters, Unions, and Feds is the most comprehensive study to date of how labor racketeering evolved and how the government has finally resolved to eradicate it.

""James Jacobs, a New York University law professor and author of Mobsters, Unions and Feds, says Mafiosi were hired by union organizers in the early twentieth century to combat company toughs. Now, he says, they specialize in & selling the rights of workers.", "I am not aware of a book that covers the same ground as this one, let alone one that does so using such thorough research and with such technical competence." -Anthony M. Gould,Universit Laval, "I am not aware of a book that covers the same ground as this oneá¾¹let alone one that does so using such thorough research and with such technical competence." -Anthony M. Gould,Université Laval, I am not aware of a book that covers the same ground as this oneá¾¹let alone one that does so using such thorough research and with such technical competence., Jacobs offers a history of the federal government's efforts to curb labor racketeering. The heart of his text focuses on the results achieved by employing Civil RICO suits to weed out organized crime from unions long mired in corruption. The Justice Department has mounted twenty such efforts since 1982, and Jacobss book is the first to provide a comprehensive assessment of this controversial tactic. He tackles this ambitious project with a combination of detailed research, clear writing, and judicious consideration, all of which have been a hallmark of his previous texts on corruption and organized crime. The result is a must read book for anyone interested in the problem of union corruption and what to do about it., The book is centred around Haydn Powell, who leaves Pontypridd to be a callboy; and then returns as the star of the Town Hall's summer season of revue and variety. It is the culmination of all his dreams, but a dream that swiftly turns sour when he discovers that his father has made decisions about priorities and values in life which affected and divided the whole Powell family. Turning for sonsolation the hard drinking, loose living society of the Revue's chorus, Haydn begins to wonder what exactly it is about Jane Jones, the theatre usherette, that ttracts his attention. Jane has ben influenced by wolrd far from those of the glitteirng stafe. Burdened by bitter secrets and haunted by the twin spectres of poverty and the workhouse that blighted her childhood, she is all aware of the threatening forces waiting in the wings. It is a time of personal drama and national crisis. For Haydn's brother Eddie, the champion boxes with a violent tempower rearely under control, inside or outside the ring. For Jenny Friggiths, Haydn's childhood sweetheart, who loves one brother but turns to another, and for the entire community of Pontypridd, commited to another devastating war so soon after the first; a war which will change thier lives forever. Collier has a gift for bringing her characters to life, this book will keep the reader engrossed up until the end., ( "For an understanding of RICO litigation against unions, Jacobs's book is a good choice." )-( Law and History Review ),(), ( "James Jacobs, a New York University law professor and author of Mobsters, Unions and Feds , says Mafiosi were hired by union organizers in the early twentieth century to combat company toughs.
