NOTES:
* Extortion depends on a person or organization using its authority, power, or influence to intimidate and threaten someone in return for property or services. Property may be demanding money to keep quiet or demanding a certain personal payment to prevent a strike.
* Extortion may serve in lieu of corruption depending on the circumstances, or if it involves a private organization.
* A union threatening a strike or collective worker action is NOT extortion unless a specific leader or member is being paid to influence union operations.
