How the Mafia Took Over the NYC Construction Industry

Описание: From towering skyscrapers to public schools, the Mafia’s fingerprints were hidden in every corner of New York’s construction boom. This documentary uncovers the rise and fall of the infamous Concrete Club, the mob cartel that controlled union labor, bid-rigging, and multi-million-dollar projects from the 1940s through the 1980s.
Explore how families like the Lucchese, Gambino, Genovese, and Colombo manipulated unions, bribed inspectors, and intimidated contractors to dominate the industry. Witness the human cost—workers threatened, honest contractors coerced, and entire neighborhoods shaped by fear. Follow the federal crackdown, RICO prosecutions, and the trials that dismantled the mob’s grip, leaving behind lessons in transparency, oversight, and resilience.
