excerpt: "" In 2005, Jamie Lee Jones was gang-raped by her co-workers while she was working for Halliburton/KBR in Baghdad. In an apparent attempt to cover up the incident, the company then put her in a shipping container for at least 24 hours without food, water, or a bed, and "warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job." Even more insultingly, the DOJ resisted bringing any criminal charges in the matter. KBR argued that Jones' employment contract warranted her claims being heard in private arbitration — without jury, judge, public record, or transcript of the proceedings. ""
