The Middle Man
15 September 2022
As a kid I was very envious of some of my school mates. They had appeared as an extra in television movie with the one and only David Janssen. It was one of his final productions before his untimely death.

Here Janssen plays Robbie Wilson. Once a devoted union man. Now he plays the middle man. Taking money from developers and delivering a compliant workforce.

He makes sure the union leaders are well remunerated so they accept low pay deals or not go on strike.

Paul Marino is interested in Wilson as he might also be involved in murder.

Jack Flood goes undercover as a developer who is planning to invest in a prime building construction project.

An interesting look at corruption and collusion between employers and union leaders. Sadly American labor unions seem riddled with organised crime groups for some decades.
