A Toys R Us source says it could be because of prior activities between the union and the retailer’s co-owner, Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts, a private equity concern with $54.4 billion in assets under management.
KKR is moving to take the Toys R Us public in an $800 million IPO next year.
The Teamsters union has long battled KKR for various labor practices at companies KKR owns stakes in, and for business practices the union feels will hurt its investments in its $100 billion pension and benefits fund.
