D’Allesandro (Dominic) is born in Avesta, Italy.

(ca.) Dominic D’Allesandro comes to Boston in 1898 and soon founds a benevolent society and a bank, then a new labor union for Italian laborers in 1904.* Although he creates and administers the union in a somewhat idiosyncratic manner, D’Allesandro is credited with ending the contract labor and padroni system and with elevating the salaries and working conditions of its members, and with organizing other local unions of Italian workers. He becomes president of the International Hod Carriers and Building Laborers’ Union in 1908 and serves in that post until his death in 1926.
