    Pro-stadium union boss guilty of mob link New York Daily News
    The verdict against Michael Forde, head of the New York City District Council of Carpenters, came nearly a year ago, but he continues to run the 25,000-member union because of a legal technicality.

    Forde, who earns $223,054 a year for running the union, is listed as a key player in the Hudson Yards Coalition, a pro-Jets stadium consortium of labor and business leaders.
