Why couldn't a group such as Landmark legal or a prosecutor either sue or bring Rico charges against not the unions but the bosses? ie the Trumka's?

I know it may be a stupid question so be gentle I'm not a layer just a questioner!!! Especially when EVERYONE knows that they are laundering money for Rat party.

I think because they are given specific exemptions from the law, via the federal government, for the private sector. But the states control the public sector, which is why Republicans are trying to take away their right to organize. Once that right is gone, they are at risk of being jailed if they organize.

I'm not a lawyer but if I'm mistaken there are plenty enough lawyers on FR to set us straight.

I haven't read anything on RICO in several years but if I remember correctly, RICO suits can be brought by private citizens against enterprises including nonprofits.

Most government employees are part of the/a Union..
Federal, State and Local.. and are mostly corrupt...
Some more some less.. but most all are corrupt to some extent..

It wouldn’t surprise me if there were a specific exemption from the RICO statute for unions. I know there is such an exemption to the Sherman Act.

Rudy RICOed the Teamsters union

They still operate under a court ordered Concent Decree

The govenment oversite has been almost as bad as the the mob in the way they have looted the treasury

No question that there has been conspiracy to commit felonies between this (illicit) administration and the Unions. However, the Fed Gummint is completely lawless at this point so it really doesn’t matter. Something will be done, or it won’t. Folks don’t seem to care. At least not enough of them.

"Right to Work" States PROVE that Unions are not really needed..
Unions exist there but they price themselves out of the FREE market..,br> Union work forces over bidding of contracts..

WHY?... any federal contract require the bid to be two or three times what it would normally be.. sometimes four times a normal contract/BID.. These bids to be paid by the taxpayer..
