22 indicted in N.Y.C. drywall trade By LARRY NEUMEISTER, AP
NEW YORK -- Twenty-two contractors, union officials and mobsters have been indicted in an attempt by prosecutors to break the Genovese crime family's hold on two unions that handle much of New York City's drywall work, authorities said Tuesday.
State and federal agents have been investigating alleged kickbacks and bidding irregularities at the Operative Plasterers and Masons Union and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
Prosecutors alleged the Genovese family infiltrated the two unions and allowed contractors to hire nonunion workers and evade taxes by paying workers off the books. In return, the mob allegedly collected kickbacks from contractors.------------------------------------------- posted 7:09 PM :: reference link ::
