We've mentioned the little problem with the organized crime infested New York Transit Workers union Local 1181 a few times here on the Union Label. Well, we can report that another indictment in this growing and embarrassing scandal has been handed down. But that union's corrupt president, Salvatore Battaglia, last week pleaded guilty to taking payoffs and said several bus company owners have made regular payments to his union for decades. The union has been controlled by the Genovese crime family since the 1970s, helping private bus companies milk the taxpayers and pumping millions into mob pockets. Prosecutors identified three owners who said they had made payments to the union: Domenic Gatto, owner of Atlantic Express; Ray Fouche, owner of Rainbow Transit and Robert Dimino, owner of Safe Coach. We'll keep our eye on this mounting scandal and the corruption it reveals.

Topsy-Turvy School Bus Turns Child’s Life Inside Out
Either way, I guess a school bus is a wild place even for washed up lesbian, man lookin’ bitches to pull off some dirty shit that makes me uncomfortable to watch but I have a thing for school buses because that’s the first place I got a girl to show me her tits, to let me finger her and to put her hand on my dick. Needless to say, I didn’t keep the job as the bus driver for too long.
The Village Voice has the interesting details of the long history of the mob-like actions indulged in by the corrupt New York School bus drivers union over the last several years and the details are shocking. This on going story gets deeper every day. But ex-school-bus driver Anthony Rinaldo says he found out that there was more to collect than just grievance forms. In September 2000, shortly after Rinaldo began to work for his union, he went to meet with a school-bus operator, a woman named Rae Fouche. After the meeting, Rinaldo said the bus operator handed him an envelope. “Give this to Sally,” she said. Rinaldo got the picture. The envelope had that special stuffed-with-cash feel to it. He also knew “Sally” to be his boss, Salvatore Battaglia, who was then the leader of Local 1181 of the Amalgamated Transit Union and its 15,000 members. Rinaldo did as asked. When he delivered the envelope, Battaglia thanked him. Of course, like all mob actions, this one when exposed saw a few flunkies and bosses go down to guilty charges while many others stayed right where they were, firmly in control of the union. But while the top two culprits at the union have been dispatched (Battaglia pled guilty last month; Bernstein died in October at age 86), most of the rest of the executive board from the old regime has remained undisturbed. As we mentioned before, these union thugs multiply faster than Federal prosecutors can snatch them up. The best way to get rid of these crooks is to burn out the entire den.
