Doug Henwood to Nathan Newman:
So you’re saying the mob did the unions a favor? Would you advocate future joint ventures between organized crime and organized labor, or was this just a one-off thing?
Doug, would you please just stop this bullshit? You know damn well that that’s not what Nathan is saying.

Workers all spoke fondly of the mob owners in comparison to the new corporate owners.
Enter the 1989 negotiations (where I came in as a young organizer)– that was the do-or-die fight where outside organizers were brought in and the new organizing model developed to deal with the union. This was the rebirth of the union but not it’s first time getting a foothold. In fact, it was just restoring the strength it once had back in the olden days.
