as reported by Bruce Golding for the New York Post. Hayes was among ten union officials and contractors variously indicted last August on racketeering, bribery, fraud and perjury charges. To date, nine defendants, including ex-union boss Michael Forde and reputed Lucchese associate Finbar O'Neill, have pleaded guilty in the case, and the remaining holdout -- benefit funds trustee Joseph Oliveri, an alleged Genovese associate -- is scheduled for trial on September 7.
