The Waterfront commissions go too far and have too much power. They can kick a person out of a job just for knowing a mobster, or being related to one. Even if the worker did nothing wrong, they are out of a job. They also kicked out a lot of non-mafia tied people for frivolous things, such as a woman who they had fired because she had a shoplifting arrest 10 years earlier. Their excuse was that she did not reveal it when interviewed. However in many cities if you are arrested for minor shoplifting it is expunged form your record if you are not arrested again, and you are allowed to say you have no arrest record. They kicked out a few people with slight mob ties, a grew with close ties. Yet all the others thrown out for old theft charges, or not revealing an old drug arrest, what do those people do? They did nothing wrong on the waterfront, and now are out of work. No trail, just a group of politically appointed flunkies making moves to show they have some value.

The Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, on December 7, formally banned multiple individuals from obtaining "gainful" employment on the docks over alleged ties to Mafia figures.
As per published reports, the rejects had ties to the Lucchese, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and DeCavalcante crime families. The Commission also blocked an applicant who did not disclose his association with a “member of the Sicilian faction of the Gambino family.

The Commission also blocked an applicant who did not disclose his association with a “member of the Sicilian faction of the Gambino family. Their contracts were things like having a grandfather who was an associate, or an in law who was a member years ago. The men themselves had no criminal involvement, why do you leave that out? As I said earlier, they threw out people for things like old shoplifting arrests (Two Black women who were secrataries at the waterfront) and they did throw out a few guys (Non-Italian, non OC) who had old serious offenses. Think: If people with records are banned from jobs, is the reason to push them back to crime? The Waterfront Commission is a political tool to give friends jobs where they do nothing useful (How ironic) by snooping deep into workers pasts to find anything to get them fired.
