UPLIFT High School students did some research into Walmart's labor practices and concluded that Walmart exploits labor, both retail labor in the U.S. and production labor in developing countries, for it's own excessive profit.

Check out our video and join us in boycotting Walmart during holiday season 2010, starting on Black Friday, Nov. 26, 2010.

8. That is too funny!
Walmart is open on Thanksgiving day here. I might stop over there and poke my finger thru some of their expensive steaks.

Or not. I'll see how I feel on my drive home.

5. They all suck.
Especially all the businesses that are open TODAY and those opening their doors at 3 and 4 am tomorrow morning.

14. I have not been inside a WalMart in
probably ten years now. Does that count as boycotting them?
