Everything was linked to the mob from the 1930's through the 1980's
You ever hear of MARTIN'S food stores? They are the parent company of GIANT supermarkets.
That company was started by the mafia.
When you get to something as big as Teamsers, yeah there can be better chances for opportunistic people to take advantage of it. But the same happens at corporations all across the country. The minimal damage a union does pales in comparison to the tens of billions of dollars of defraudment that goes on every year by the corporate offices. Enron was a huge player in Californias crash, tens of billions of dollars in damages easily, Tyco 1 billion.
Teamsers? 17 million.
Unions, by far, create employment and create a better quality of it too.
