The union boss Harold Daggett “known as the goat” has long cast himself as a staunch advocate for blue-collar workers, even as he has lived in luxury, owning a yacht and driving a Bentley \u2014 and fought off alleged ties to the Mafia. Oh, what a surprise, a union boss thug, say it is not so!<\/p>\n

Sporting a polo shirt with a chunky gold medallion around his neck, the 78-year-old Daggett, who as president of the International Longshoremen\u2019s Association is leading the port strikes stretching from Maine to Texas<\/a>, was prone to theatrical flourishes in a September interview as he geared up for the strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re gonna be like this,\u201d Daggett said, grabbing his neck in a choking gesture. \u201cI\u2019ll cripple you. I will cripple you and you have no idea what that means. Nobody does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since last year, Daggett has threatened to shut down the 36 ports covered by his union if \u201cmoney crazy\u201d shipping companies<\/a> refused to issue wage hikes and protections for workers against industry automation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s going to support [workers\u2019] families? Machines? Machines don\u2019t have families,\u201d he previously said.<\/p>\n
