Posted: Wednesday, 26 March 2008 5:32PM New Jersey Union Boss Admits to Taking Bribes from Contractors NEWARK, N.J. (AP)  -- A former union leader says he and others took $150,000 in bribes for labor peace from contractors.     As a result, the contractors did not have to hire as many members of Local 825 of the International Union of Operating Engineers for work at a project in Jersey City.     The guilty pleas Wednesday by Craig Wask to seven conspiracy counts [PDF] means he could face time in federal prison. Each count carries up to five years in federal prison.     Three others have also pleaded guilty in the case.     Local 825 represents about 7,000 construction equipment operators, mechanics and surveyors.
