Korshak Part 3 Lawyer Takes J Hotta Suite
The New York Times summarizes Sidney Korshak as a powerful labor consultant linked to unions and organized crime. It details his rise in Chicago business circles after 1946 with Joel Goldblatt and Walter Heymann, his influence with labor and banks, and his role in the 17 day Hotel and Restaurant Workers strike against Summa Corp casinos. The piece notes Korshak’s history with mob ties through Murray Humphreys and the broader pattern of payoff methods that skirt labor laws.
