Albert Ceasar Tocco is highly regarded, because he was one of the modern fathers of organized labor. For the last 80 years, the heads of organized labor have been regarded as outlaws, and Tocco ran the majority of the rackets in the southern quadrants of Chicago.
He was the Tony Soprano of Chicago.
Albert Caesar Tocco (August 9, 1929 - September 21, 2005), nicknamed "Caesar" (though this was actually his baptismal name) in the media, was an Italian-American organized crime leader and a high ranking member of the Chicago Outfit during the 1970s and 80s. He was the alleged "Southside" boss that controlled all the rackets in the southern quadrant of Chicago, including parts of Indiana -- the same part of the city that Al Capone both lived in, visited, and ran the majority of his rackets. Albert Tocco is believed to be the first organized crime leader whom a spouse has testified against.
