I knew a few of the "old time" labor tough guys. They were far higher up

old style mobsters were far less crooked than, say, Merrill Lynch or
Goldman Sachs or Citibank, eh?

I am betting you did not really know much about the terrorists who
"organized" companies in the old days.
Arson, intimidation and the general destruction of corporate property
was not unusual.
Don't forget, I grew up with those old guys in the Teamsters.

Petty crimes compared to the horror perpetrated these days by
mulltinational corporations.

That does beg the question "why hasn't Holder prosecuted any of those
cases"?

For reasons I don't understand, we don't really criminally prosecute
many of the big and serious corporate horrors. Even your current
governor's former company got off the hook with a big fine.
