Keep in mind one of the base functions for commission meetings is to manage inter family rackets. Eg concrete club, windows etc.
With OC pushed out of most unions etc there is very little inter-family racketeering going on and therefor little actual requirement for a commission to get together.
LCN is still involved in unions, but rarely more than a single family's influence at a time.
Actually, cases going back over a decade show case after case of the NY families working in joint-operations. And remember the recent WSJ article that talked about how the family's are less territorial and more open to collaboration than in the past as long as they are earning.
Chicago and genovese still interact over the teamsters,

We both know that's not true. And since when did you come to that conclusion? I remember when you were arguing with guys on the RD forum about the Outfit not being as strong as they were claiming. You talked about how "loans were down" and the feds only having a couple guys tracking them. More recently you were talking up the Genovese as the top family. And now you're back to the Outfit? You flip flop back and forth like crazy.
