The Mafia, the Teamsters Union and the Garbage Industry

The Mafia, the Teamsters Union and the Garbage Industry

Vincent and Nunzio Squillante, garbage barons of New York City, worked in unison with Teamsters Local 813 in New York to dominate the sanitation industry during the 1950s. My e-book looks at how innocent store owners were shaken down and made to switch sanitation companies by the intrusion of the Squillantes and Teamsters combined. Vincent J. Squillante was the godson of Albert Anastasia, and was in a barber's chair just beside the Mafia enforcer when he was gunned down by assassins in October 1957. The Squillante brothers originated in Harlem's Little Italy. My work looks at the brothers' criminal connections in the Gambino crime family as well as their many offenses and imprisonments. There is also a close look at the intimidation of merchants by the Mafia that was the subjects of the Senate Racketeering Hearings of 1957.
