Unions can't just naturally detect the contraband of other criminal groups. Unions are mostly just used for looting, kickbacks and shaking down workers etc.
Thanks for the links. My point is that if you control the union, you control what containers don't get inspected. That is a powerful thing. Without juice in the union, your shipments are in danger of being discovered and confiscated. And who knows how else the union helped the Mafia on the docks.
