Kamala Harris is willing to do anything to put herself in the White House.
She’s willing to cut a deal with shady characters if she thinks it’ll help her.
And Kamala Harris doesn’t want anyone to know about these political allies connected to the mob.
The mob owns the docks
The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) union almost handed Vice President Kamala Harris a nasty October surprise.
Every dockworker at the ports on the Gulf Coast and the eastern seaboard is represented by the ILA.
The ILA went on strike for three days which shut down every port from Texas to Maine in search of a 77% pay increase and safeguards against automation.
ILA Union Boss Harold Daggett threatened to “cripple” the economy by shutting down the ports with a strike.
The Biden-Harris administration worked behind the scenes to push a quick resolution to the strike.
A long strike could result in a supply chain disaster that would have cost the economy $5 billion per day and spiked inflation.
But Big Labor has Democrats’ backs when it comes to the election.
The attention the strike brought to the ILA revealed that the ports are still a haven for organized crime.
Federal prosecutors charged Harold Daggett with racketeering in a 2004 case where they accused the Genovese crime family of trying to install him as the head of the ILA.
Daggett was accused of being an associate of the Genovese crime family – one of the five families of New York’s Mafia.
Lawrence Ricci, a co-defendant of Daggett’s at the trial and an alleged mobster, went missing during the trial.
His dead body was found in the trunk of a car parked in a New Jersey diner.
An alarming number of longshoremen have ties to the Mafia
The Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor was set up in 1953 to combat the influence of the mob on the docks in New York and New Jersey.
New Jersey was pressured to pull out of the Waterfront Commission by the ILA.
A review of filings with the commission by the Daily Wire found that 18% of the ILA’s potential hires had connections to the Mafia.
These mob-connected hires were steered to lucrative no-show jobs that paid them more than $350,000 a year.
“Today, every terminal within the Port still has special compensation packages given to certain ILA longshore workers, the majority of whom are white males connected to organized crime figures or union leadership,” the Waterfront Commission wrote in a report.
“Based on the industry’s reported figures, the Commission has again identified over 590 individuals who collectively received over $147.6 million last year in outsized salaries, or for hours they never worked,” the Commission added.
A 2019 report from the commission found that the Mafia’s efforts to install itself at the port were getting worse.
Gambino associate Anthony Pansini II pleaded guilty to using control over ILA Local 1814 to a conspiracy to control handing out union dockworker jobs in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
His son was given preferential hiring over 40 candidates for a union despite the fact his father had mob ties.
New Jersey pulled out of the commission which meant the last report was filed in 2020.
The ports are still likely a hotbed of organized crime activity.
