Joe Adonis
By the late 1920s, Anastasia had become a top leader of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), controlling six local chapters of the labor union in Brooklyn. Anastasia allied himself with Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria, a powerful mafia leader in Brooklyn. He soon became close associates with future "Cosa Nostra" bosses Joe Adonis, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Vito Genovese, and Frank Costello.
