Prosecutors say the unions that deliver cement and other building supplies  
have long been a magnet for Mafia involvement because mob officials know that 
if  they delay deliveries, construction companies can lose large amounts of  
money.
 
Of the seven New Jersey men named in the indictment, Nick Calvo, 52, of  
Nutley and Michael King, 41, of Freehold were charged with extorting the  
cooperating contractor while he subcontracting for a New Jersey firm, Schiavone 
 
Construction. Authorities said they executed warrants and retrieved records 
from  
Schiavone offices in Secaucus yesterday.
 
Another labor union official, Louis Mosca, 62, of Cranford, was charged in  
separate counts with conspiring with Calvo and Joseph "Fat Joe" Agate, 60, of  
Manchester to get Agate union creden tials and access to a union job.
 
The indictment also charged Cody Farrell, 29, of Manalapan, Ronald Flam,  35, 
of Jackson and Joseph "Joe Rackets" Casiere, 72, of Toms River with being  
part of a $2,000-a-day gambling operation.
 
The business manager of a Jersey City labor local is among more than 80  
people charged…
 
The indictment referred to Liberty Harbor, a massive project being  developed 
by Peter Mocco, the former mayor of North Bergen, opposite the new  Jersey 
City Medical Center.
 
The federal indictment represents an unprecedented crackdown on mobsters  
living in New York, New Jersey, and in Italy.
 
“The fact is the dollars involved in the construction industry are so great  
and the opportunities at so many levels for corruption are so broad, that this 
 is a problem that will never, ever go away….For as long as we’re around, we’
re  going to have to fight a ground war in New York and New Jersey,” Mr. 
Luskin  said.
