| WTF? Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye is considering weakening or stripping Franken's anti-rape amendment, which would prohibit federal contractors to include contract provisions that would deny their employees the right to bring on-the-job rape or assault cases to court!
Er...come again? This is a slam-dunk provision, isn't it? Why would anyone work to kill this amendment?
Inouye's office, sources say, has been lobbied by defense contractors adamant that the language of the Franken amendment would leave them overly exposed to lawsuits and at constant risk of having contracts dry up....
Look, if federal contractors are worried about being "overly exposed to lawsuits" over on-the-job incidents of rape and assault, obviously there's a bigger problem at issue here, isn't there? I mean...what the h*ll? Is this a common occurrence?
The frenzy of contractors trying to kill this amendment makes it all the more apparent we need to pass this thing. |
