OK. The phone thing can be put to rest. But Walmart is still on Norway's ethics-board-for-the-petroleum-fund do-not-invest list. This is because of some of their suppliers using child labor and Walmart not doing anything about that. A major bank here just yesterday pulled their money out of Walmart. The story hit the media that they had some of one mutual fund, touted as a sound investment for parents to make for their kids, invested in ethics board do-not-invest firms Walmart (child labor) and Honeywell (atom bomb parts). Customers kicked up a fuss and the bank pulled out of those companies.
