Halliburton - always watching out for employees

Halliburton is fighting hard to stop a Texas woman from bringing her alleged rapists to justice. The billion-dollar corporation is asking the Supreme Court to reverse a lower court decision to let Jamie Leigh Jones go to trial against the men who raped her while she was working for Halliburton subsidiary KBR in Baghdad in 2005. Halliburton says the woman’s contract specified that all claims — even being confined and gang raped by your coworkers — must be settled out of court, with a quiet arbitration, not with a trial, damages and jail time. As it stands now, the trial is set to begin in February 2011.
