Interesting to see Matassa is still treasurer of a large union and has had complaints against him as recently as December 2013. Really goes to show you that these guys never stop and stay so far below the radar, the press rarely even notices them.
It's crazy. But I'm not sure if it's just that he's "under the radar." I honestly believe the Feds have a bigger hard-on for the locals in the Northeast than they do for the Midwestern locals. The LIUNA locals here are under almost as much Federally mandated supervision as the Teamsters. And forget about the fucking IBT locals here. It's just a job now.
The reality is that if the Chicago media or certain politicians had seen this complaint - they would have gone buckwild with stories about mob influence in Chicago unions and demands for Pudgy to step down from lawmakers. No idea how this stayed so quiet.
