    UNION-SCAM BOSS GUILTY By KATI CORNELL SMITH, New York Post
    The former vice president of a powerful elevator workers union is going down, after a federal jury yesterday found him guilty of lining his pockets through an elaborate labor-racketeering scheme.

    Charles Novak, 67, faces up to 20 years in prison for racketeering, money laundering and conspiracy to take unlawful labor payments. Jurors could decide as soon as today whether he must also fork over $1.5 million.

    His longtime pal Anthony DeGennaro, a former representative for Local 1 of the International Union of Elevator Constructors, cut a deal with the feds and fingered Novak for orchestrating a massive phantom-job scheme that prosecutors say raked in over $5 million in 12 years.
