CLEVELAND, Ohio -
Another labor organization is attempting to unionize 400 employees of the Exal Corporation plant in Youngstown.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) announced on Monday that it is filing applications with the National Labor Relations Board that could lead to en eventual vote by employees on whether or not they wish to be represented by the union.

Last June, Exal employees voted 249 to 87 against representation by the Teamsters union.

ORGANIZED CRIME AND THE LABOR UNIONS

This is a preliminary report on the organized crime influence in the labor unions today in the United States. The picture that it presents is thoroughly frightening. At least four international unions are completely dominated by men who either have strong ties to or are members of the organized crime syndicate.

A majority of the locals in most major cities of the United States in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union (HRE), Laborers International Union of North America (Laborers), and International Longshoreman's Association (ILA) unions are completely dominated by organized crime. The officials of these unions are firmly entrenched; there is little hope of removing them by a free election process

It is the Machinists and Aerospace Workers that are organizing.

Wall St still gets a cut of my pension $ BTW. What is the difference? Wall St is no better than the mob.
