how the fuck is anyone against this?

[HAWKEYE]

lol wtf

[boer]

I would do some more reading on this before saying much else. I really don't trust that faggot running "The Daily Show" and dislike Franken quite a bit...

If there is truth to this, then the folks that voted against it, should be kicked out of office...

true. i dont listen to most of my friends that talk about things on the "news" because they get 80% of it from the daily show.. yet then again i havent been up to date on the news either for like the past 3 weeks so i cant trust myself

ya i heard about that like a week ago or so... idk many details about it, but it definitely seems fucked up.. some of the republicans that voted against it are even women! usually they would be all for something like this... definitely shows the problem with the 2 party system


but then again if youve decided to work for Halliburton/KBR youre getting gang raped anyway.. and im in no way surprised that the repubs voted against it.. im sure some of them have connection to it, be it finacial, political, or just the fact that they fear the mess that could happen from any investigation or public 'scene' involving the contractor.. as its bush/cheney's most controversial no-bid contract with an endless trail of suspicious (and thats saying it nicely) actions..

google it for non-daily-show reports on it..

i just dont see how a company can be allowed to deny employee's their rights and/or circumvent the law... And its funny that the contract to work for KBR has that shit, i assume some of their employees know this or something cause theres quite a few reported rapes by male KBR employees against female employees

Now that i thought of it more. i kind of see a point in them opposing the bill. Is it really the companies fault that she had been sexually assaulted? It shouldnt be the companies fault unless they neglected the problem if it was clearly happening.

Most people when harassed at work would probably blame the business they work for because there's more money in prosecuting them then the one who commited the harassment. Im gonna geuss it boils more down to the point is if companies are reliable for their employees actions at the work place. Once again if its obvious these things are being done and the companies are just neglecting whats going on, then yes they should be held responsible.

[diamond-optic]

well i would think in court if they had nothing to do with it in some way or another, that they should be able to prove that easily and show that only the employees that committed it are responisble... But actually having that in the contract almost implies that they can ignore it happening or whatever instead of attempting (at the very least) to offer a safe and fair work environment. And that they do not need to give any sort of assistance to any victim of such abuse.

in theory, if they arent resposible for it happening or whatnot, then they shouldnt have to worry about a lawsuit, because technically if they arent they should be found not guilty anyway.. its almost like a 'just incase we are responsible... too bad for you' thing.. And having that in there means that they can neglect whats going on, which to me, whether or not they are responsible, isnt very ethical
