As far as my mob/labor claims, one can do a search on "Sam Caivano" a Vice President of, I believe, the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA) in the late '80s '90s
There may have been some light nepotism(!) and some other unsavory things that came with running a #LaborUnion at the time in the New York metropolitan area. *shrug*

This #LaborDay, a day set aside as a national holiday in 1894, we commemorate the #laborunion movement, the demand for an eight-hour work day, better working conditions, #fairwages, and an end to #childlabor.
#Genderequality, #racialequality, fair #farmprices, and #farmworker rights are separate issues but all related to the struggle of the #unions for a fair wage and decent working conditions.

Hollywood has been using motion capture technologies for so long. So they record people in warehouses, capture their movements, optimize them, and replace them with robots.
Soon, the whole world will owe its soul to the company store. All property is owned by capitalists. They don't need to employ much labor, because technology has replaced the need for people. But people need to eat. So the capitalists who own the supply chains and the technology that produces life necessities have a choke hold and can dictate terms to us all.
Freedom of choice:
Do what that bald man says, or starve.

They're at it every week with an update on unionization drives large and small, across the USA and beyond, providing the news and interviews with workers and labor activists on the front lines. Its very much worth your time.
