They Want Us To Make a Symphony

| | Comments (0)
Remember that woman who was raped by a bunch of her Halliburton co-workers, only to have her company (and more or less her government) systematically cover up the case?  Apparently this happens all the time. 

Three new women have come forward, but they cannot sue because of "an agreement they signed at hiring requiring them to settle disputes through private arbitration."  Jamie Leigh Jones, the first woman to go public, has been speaking out. 

"What is to stop these companies from victimizing women in the future?" Jones said. "The U.S. government has to provide people with their day in court when they have been raped and assaulted by other American citizens. Otherwise we are not only deprived of our justice in the criminal courts but in the civil courts as well. The laws have left us nowhere to turn."
Love,
Dan
