This is just one example of hundreds over the decades, painting a consistent thread of corruption.
The most famous example is Jimmy Hoffa, whose story has been made into films... including one in 1992 with Jack Nicholson.
“ Hoffa became involved with organized crime from the early years of his Teamsters work, a connection that continued until his disappearance in 1975. He was convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery, conspiracy, and mail and wire fraud in 1964 in two separate trials.”
One example of many.
> This sort of thing happens in private corporations
Private corporations have a mission to make money. Unions have a completely different mission.
Ever seen the movie "Hoffa"? Recall the scene when he's being transported to prison.
