Nunzio LaGrasso, the International Longshoremen's Association vice president who was charged last April "with shaking down his own union members for extortion payments," has "a dozen family members earning a very nice living as waterfront workers" as reported by Jerry Capeci for The Huffington Post: "Last year, for example, the ten LaGrasso family members whose salaries Gang Land could obtain earned $1,562,704 in a variety of jobs, including longshoremen, checkers, and timekeepers. The total does not include what LaGrasso's sister Lisa made as a secretary for Local 1478, where LaGrasso was secretary treasurer, or the salary his daughter earned working at the ILA Welfare Fund."
Last week the veteran mob watcher Capeci reported that several kin of the now-deceased legendary Genovese boss Vincent "Chin" Gigante raked in nearly $2 million a year from the waterfront.
It's good work if you can get it.
