How did the Chin enforce this though, like how did he make Salerno feel subordinate, did Fat Tony at all resent the Chin using him?

I've always looked at it as Fat Tony was the acting boss for Chin, who was the official boss. Salerno was acting in the boss' stead, performing all the duties of a boss. I've never cared for the term "front boss," since it implies an unwitting guy who lets himself to be set up for the fall. Salerno wasn't an idiot and that wasn't the situation.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
