Wall Street Journal Editorial Exposes SEIU Attacks on Wal-Mart
Dirty campaign tactics also used against WSI
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida - James L. Long III, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Florida based Wackenhut Services, Incorporated (WSI), quickly responded to a highly informative editorial appearing in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) October 18, 2006. The editorial was titled, "The Wal-Mart Posse". This editorial exposed funding, tactics, motives, and political support for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) corporate smear campaign against Wal-Mart.
(See Longs’ letter, displayed below, to Mr. Ned Grabb, Letters Editor, The Wall Street Journal, dated October 19, 2006)
The editorial names front organizations; discloses false information and phony slogans;and identifies individual politicians seeking political gain by being aligned with SEIU. It also exposed SEIU’s financial motives, while raising substantial questions about the accuracy and credibility of SEIU information attacking Wal-Mart.
(See the WSI Blog for excerpts from the Journal Editorial)
WSI has also been targeted by SEIU and is currently under attack by a similar dirty tricks smear campaign. As with Wal-Mart, the intent of SEIU is to force WSI to capitulate to SEIU’s unreasonable demands or have its reputation systematically ruined.
The truth regarding SEIU smear tactics, their supporters and the reasons for those tactics, is emerging into public view. WSI believes that fair-minded Americans will find smear tactics of the nature employed by SEIU repulsive and just plain un-American. It has been our experience that Americans find the purveyor’s of lies, distortions, and gross misrepresentations are just plain untrustworthy.. WSI will continue to be a voice exposing the smear tactics of SEIU to our fellow Americans.
