The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has flatly rejected a major labor union’s call to cut ties to Wal-Mart lobbyists and executives who have been canvassing the Capitol in search of new friends and allies.
Black lawmakers say they will continue to listen to Wal-Mart – as they would any other group interested in building a relationship — and will not be bullied by what they regard as the Service Employees International Union’s (SEIU) inappropriate attempt to “put the CBC in its place” with instructions to shun the world’s largest employer.
This SEIU-CBC dispute comes at a time when Wal-Mart is significantly boosting its political contributions to Democrats.
