pulling in a cool 400$k as a port authority "supervisor", while not actually doing any work, just cuz you are a mob boss relative:

remind me of season 2 of the wire.

At any given time, some 40 percent of the ports’ work force — which includes terminals in Brooklyn, Staten Island and Newark — is being paid but not actually doing any work

sigh

Best TV show ever.

Lol, isn't this always how it works in any mob movie in the NY/Jersey area? You'd think they would at least be watching for this type of stuff, but then...

A small band of longshoremen — including relatives of famous mobsters — were paid for working more than 24 hours a day, every day of the week, at the ports of New York and New Jersey, The Post has learned.

With that, shouldn't they be looking how high up the chain this goes? It seems like just maybe someone is getting paid off to over look records like that.

wire!!!!

 

[FelixDeCat]

The mob doesn't exist. Fugeddaboutit.

 

[Soccerman06]

Well if you think about it, they are paying him for 24hrs a day, thats 16 hrs of OT or a total of 32hrs payed per day based on standard OT rates. Just sayin

Should he be payed that much? no but whatever

Why? There was nine of this in The Wire. It's much more like The Sopranos, which featured exactly this scam in many episodes.

 

[alkemyst]

yeah, proof conspiracies just don't exist.

Not enough to have a body on my conscience.

Longshoremen's unions are notoriously crooked. Right to work FTW!

crooked dock workers, tied in with gansters (the "good dope" came through the docks), payoffs, etc. You obviously never watched season 2.

 

[kranky]

Can't call it extortion because it's in their contract. But it wouldn't surprise me that during "negotiations", it was strongly suggested that to have labor peace it would be a good idea to pay certain people for 24/7 work days. Nice little system they have going.

Now the trash collectors' union will be all upset because they didn't think of that.

at least read the wiki before you come in and contradict a thread full of people citing the show...

Unions >>>> Crooked Unions >> Right to work.

 

[mmntech]

I think that applies for just about any government job. I remember a story coming out of Toronto last year where they found some subway ticket collectors were making over $100k. They're nothing more than cashiers. Heck, they don't even count the money or hand out the tokens. A machine does it for them.

As usual, you have absolutely no clue about what you're talking about.

Did you skip all of season 2? (understandable)

heh, the only difference between unions and crooked unions is that the unions haven't been exposed as crooked yet.
