Walmart’s recent boycott
Walmart’s announcement of new store openings comes in the wake of yet another boycott. From May 20 to May 26, the advocacy group People’s Union USA led a protest against the retail giant, accusing it of “crushing small businesses” and “underpaying” employees. The action followed March’s economic blackout and highlighted growing criticism of Walmart’s business practices.
The Walmart boycott is part of a broader series of weekly protests organized by the People’s Union. Target is next on the list, with a boycott scheduled for June 3 to 9, followed by McDonald’s from June 24 to 30. The group is also planning a nationwide consumer blackout on July 4, aiming to draw attention to corporate practices they deem harmful to workers and small businesses.
