unions, waste disposal and the others you listed dont for most part bring them into any contact with other groups, the only people that go after them in those rackets are law enforcement. Im talking in terms of their relations with other gangs and also their place in the drug trade.
the fact they are involved in these fields show they are above the other groups by far... they are also involved in drugs, gambling, extortions etc. in the areas where they are still strong they are above even in these fields
in drugs and extortion they arent above anyone. theres about a dozen different other groups that do the same thing some even to a greater extent than the mob. They have an edge when it comes to gambling ill give you that. Ill say that there more expansive in terms of the variety activity but to say that their still a dominant group is just untrue.
