Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the machinations of corruption within the coin-operated amusement and vending machine industry, focusing on the Chicago area and the surrounding counties from the 1950s onward. The author details the illicit relationship between the local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and their 'Recorded Music Service Association' (RMSA) and 'Commercial Phonograph Survey Co' fronts, and the various amusement and vending machine operators in the region, demonstrating how the union leveraged their power to extort exorbitant payments for protection, control access to locations, and suppress competition by preventing new entrants. The author also highlights the role of organized crime figures in the industry, providing a glimpse into the dark underbelly of American business and labor relations, and illuminating how such corrupt practices undermine fair competition and legitimate business operations.
