    Big Labor's continuing scandal - editorial washingtontimes The corruption of Big Labor bosses has become so squalid that it now even exceeds the bounds of acceptability for the union leaders of the hotel workers and the laborers, whose unions were found in 1986 by the President's Commission on Organized Crime to be extensively controlled by the Mafia. The disgust of these two union leaders occurred at a recent meeting of an eight-member "special committee" appointed by the board of directors of ULLICO. ULLICO is a labor-owned insurance company, many of whose officers and directors have been implicated in a massive, secretive, self-dealing stock scheme organized by Robert Georgine, the firm's chairman and CEO.
