The Service Employees International Union is taking it to the streets once again. After months of targeting the Carlyle Group, the SEIU is expanding its list of targets to include other buyout shops. The next firm on their list: Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
As part of its campaign to get a tax hike imposed on the private equity industry, the
SEIU is demonstrating outside KKR's New York headquarters Thursday and hopes to
organize 100 protests in 25 countries where the firm has portfolio
companies. Rhetoric between the private equity industry and its SEIU
detractors has been heating up with each sides trading accusations
about jobs, profits and taxes. See WSJ editorial on SEIU See Dealscape post on SEIU protests See Dealscape post on SEIU protests at Carlyle See Dealscape: Meet Henry Kravis' cartoon alter ego CategoriesPrivate capital video
