Life ‘on the water’s edge’ now includes 76-foot yachts and Bentleys, at least for the right kind of people – Christopher Fountain

In 2005, the Justice Department accused Daggett of being an “associate” with the Genovese crime family – one of the “Five Families” of the American Mafia. Daggett took the witness stand that year after federal prosecutors charged him with racketeering.

He described himself as a mob target — even though a mob defector had testified that Daggett was under the mob’s thumb, The New York Times reported.

During the course of the trial, one of Daggett’s co-defendants – Lawrence Ricci, an alleged Big Mafia figure – disappeared. His body was found weeks later decomposed in the trunk of a car outside a New Jersey restaurant.

But the plundering of the union coffers by his sons is at least more restrained That.

According to ProPublica, Dennis, the ILA’s executive vice president, earned $250,156 in the fiscal year ending December 2022. John, the general vice president of the Atlantic Coast District ILA, reportedly earned $264,228 during the same period.

Retailers, auto suppliers and agricultural importers had hoped Biden would impose the federal Taft-Hartley Act, which allows U.S. presidents to implement an 80-day cooling-off period that forces workers to return to work during certain labor disputes.

But that hope was dashed when Biden said Monday he doesn’t “believe” in Taft-Hartley.

As the general population becomes enraged, Biden’s handlers may lose some of their fear of offending unions and reverse their position on imposing Taft-Hartley, but the mob is right with this prediction:

Daggett had mocked the idea during an interview in early September.

“Do you think if I go back for ninety days, those men will work on that pier?” Daggett said.

He painted a picture of the consequences of the strikes over time – signaling his commitment to the long term.

“Everything in the United States comes on a ship,” Daggett said during the September interview.

During the first week of the strikes, the media will pay attention to the picket lines, he predicted.

During the second week, car salespeople will struggle to hold on to their jobs as car shipments stagnate, Daggett said. The malls will start closing in the third week.

Subsequently, the jobs of construction workers will be at risk as steel and wood shipments lag behind.

“Everyone now hates the dock workers because they now realize how important our jobs are,” the union head warned.
