Yeah, I figured that much, but how come they still get paid? We're they paid before the job started?
Its a form of extortion.
When a new construction project starts, the mob, which may control some of the unions, gets part of its share by installing some no-show workers on the payroll. These workers get paid the regular union pay (but don't do any work).
They are one the payroll, get checks and whatnot but no work. Kind of like Tony and his consultant job at Barone sanitation.
Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
