Fwiw I was recently told by 2 longshoreman buddies that the Irish had power now at the port , which I was shocked by , but again I don't think either would have any knowledge if they reported to anybody or were just well placed fronts so who knows but I was always under impression the power their would never change . Just passing along what I heard , not looking to stir shit, so they could be totally off base . I'm sure some here have much better knowledge of what's really going on as these aren't connected guys , just long time Union members , then again they say they watch TV all day for work lol .
There's always been a large Irish presence at the ports, going back a century, New York and New Jersey.
Are they in charge? No. Are they to be fucked with? No
