Among the top recipients of ILA PAC money in the last few elections were Sens. Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, Robert Menendez, D-NJ, Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY, all of whom represent states with important ports. Some of these same senators are among the chief critics of the Dubai port deal, but they are noticeably silent when it comes to mob influence in the union that actually controls who works on these ports.The Mob And The Ports Deal

Great find. The Union thugs are deep into this. Saudi ports in NYC? Fine, says Chucky. No upgrades that take Union jobs. UAE ports in NYC? NO WAY, says Chucky. They are state-of-the-art. Too many Union jobs will go.
