I got my first taste in the mid seventies. Laborers international 714. I put up with the strongarm to cough up 300 for my first job and put up with the corruption when your name got to the top of the list but when they reelected the sec/treas AFTER he had been indicted for stealing funds was too much.
Back then Blacks ran the Laborers and there were many black people in all the construction trades. Blacks had tons of power in the Culinary union as well. The housekeepers was a very strong trade for black women.
Over the past thirty years the illegals took over the laborers and culinary pushing blacks out of very well paying jobs.
Where were all the black leaders as they watched their communities fall apart in large part because of illegals taking all the jobs Americans would not do?
