The lawsuit charged that the mafia had operated the IBT as a racketeering enterprise for decades, systematically violating the rights of members and furthering the interests of organized crime. On the eve of trial, the parties settled the case, and twenty years later, the trustees are still on the job. Breaking the Devil?s Pact is an in-depth study of the U.S. v. IBT, beginning with Giuliani?s lawsuit and the politics surrounding it, and continuing with an incisive analysis of the controversial nature of the ongoing trusteeship. James B. Jacobs and Kerry T. Cooperman address the larger question of the limits of legal reform in the American labor movement and the appropriate level of government involvement. 606 $aOrganized crime investigation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aLabor unions$xCorrupt practices$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRacketeering$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMafia trials$zUnited States 615 0$aOrganized crime investigation$xHistory. 615 0$aLabor unions$xCorrupt practices$xHistory. 615 0$aRacketeering$xHistory. 615 0$aMafia trials 676 $a345.730267 700 $aJacobs$b James B.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0945933 702 $aCooperman$b Kerry T.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996582067003316 996 $aBreaking the Devil?s Pact$93930980 997 $aUNISA
