Download or read book Corruption and Racketeering in the New York City Construction Industry written by New York State Organized Crime Task Force and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Corruption and Racketeering In The New York City Construction Industry: The Final Report of the New York State Organized Task Force, lays out in close and compelling detail the intricate patterns of currupt activities and relationships that for the better part of a century have characterized business as usual in the construction industry in America's largest metropolis. The book is the end product of more than five years' worth of investigation, prosecutions, and research by the New York State Organized Crime Task Force, a unique agency that has set a national example for marrying law enforcement initiatives with comprehensive and exhausting analysis of the causes and dynamics of industrial racketeering. This is a sobering analysis of the construction industry , one of New York City's largest industries, and in effect, one of the city's most significant economic sectors. In any given year during the 1980s, billions of dollars of construction were being carried out at any one time. The industry regularly employs more than 100,000 people in the city, involving some one hundred union locals and many hundreds of general and specialty contractors as well as a large number of architects, engineers, and materials suppliers. The book shows—in great and provocative detail—how organized extortion, bribery illegal cartels, and bid rigging characterize construction in the city. The basis for much of this crim is labor racketeering, controlled or orchestrated by organized crime. It reveals how this world of corruption affects not only the private sector but the city's vast public works program, and it spells out the ways in which both organized crime and official corruption each sustain the dynamics of ongoing criminality. Wrong-doing on a massive scale is documented at length. But this book is more than a recitation of extensive and systematic criminality. The book recommends a number of plausible options for genuine reform. Necessarily these are profound and radical solutions, but everyone who reads this book will conclude that only profound and radical solutions could hope to solve such an entrenched and intractable crime problem.
Download or read book Murder in the Garment District written by David Witwer and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling and true account of racketeering and union corruption in mid-century New York, when unions and the mob were locked in a power struggle that reverberates to this day In 1949, in New York City's crowded Garment District, a union organizer named William Lurye was stabbed to death by a mob assassin. Through the lens of this murder case, prize-winning authors David Witwer and Catherine Rios explore American labor history at its critical turning point, drawing on FBI case files and the private papers of investigative journalists who first broke the story. A narrative that originates in the garment industry of mid-century New York, which produced over 80 percent of the nation's dresses at the time, Murder in the Garment District quickly moves to a national stage, where congressional anti-corruption hearings gripped the nation and forever tainted the reputation of American unions. Replete with elements of a true-crime thriller, Murder in the Garment District includes a riveting cast of characters, from wheeling and dealing union president David Dubinsky to the notorious gangster Abe Chait and the crusading Robert F. Kennedy, whose public duel with Jimmy Hoffa became front-page news. Deeply researched and grounded in the street-level events that put people's lives and livelihoods at stake, Murder in the Garment District is destined to become a classic work of history—one that also explains the current troubled state of unions in America.

Book excerpt: How did a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn wind up running Wall Street swindles for the Mafia, hobnobbing with the big names of show business making and spending fortunes in a week--then turning informer for the U.S. Government and losing everything, including his own name and identity? It happened to Micheal Hellerman. the bright, well-educated son of a respected New York Banker. At age twenty-two, Mike was the whiz-kid of Wall Street, handling millions in corporate funds, moving on the fast track with some high class entertainers, rubbing soldiers with top politicians, financiers and mobsters. Making money was his passion and he didn't care much where it came from. He worked mind-boggling swindles, corrupting brokers in prominent Wall Street firms and using them to turn worthless shell corporations into $50 stocks overnight, calling on his friends in the Mafia for capital and protection. It was a fabulous racket, until the Feds got wise. Then Mike had to turn choose - turn informer for the government or spend the rest of his life in jail. Hellerman decided to sing. In this book he reveals what he told the government - a staggering tale of crime and corruption reaching into the highest circles of corporate finance and Washington Bureaucracy. He also describes the nerve wracking life of a protected witness with a mob contract out on his life - and his new beginnings under an assumed name and identity supplied by the government. Finally, Hellerman spells out in detail the shaky stock laws still on the books and shows how a clever crook can get around them to make millions under the table - all at the expense of small time investors. This is a book that unfolds like sensational fiction - but it's all true. What you will read here - Mike Hellerman's personal testimony - has already sent droves of men to jail and made Mike a fugitive from himself, and his past forever.
