I don't think I meant a lawsuit wasn't justified. I said under her contract it wasn't. Do away with the contract an arbitration clause and she could sue the pants off them. And should.
Fact is she signed a contract with the clause in. Therefore she can't sue. Now if the court overturns the contract or rules otherwise then good. She wins.
I don't think I meant to say It isn't enforceable. I was going by what the DOD and Inoyhe had to say.
I am not a lawyer, judge, or law maker. And I don't think I am smart enough to say one way or t'other.
BTW. If Inoyhe is pandering to the contractors in his district rather than doing what is right it wouldn't surprise me a bit.

but if as you say

Then where is the problem. If Jone's case was outside the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator why the amendment. It is being settled in the courts is it not?

Now to the language of the amendment.

did you read this? Where does it stop. There could be several layers (tiers)of subcontractors in this kind of work. Some may be outside the jurisdiction of the US. How do you enforce that kind of law?
or this


Have you read title VII of the civil rights act? I tried, finally gave up. It was giving me a headache.
How will this be enforced in foreign countries? Iraq isn't going to abide by our civil rights act. What American contractor will subcontract to a foreign company with this provision?
I don't disagree with the intent of the amendment but I don't think this is well written.

Or this


Like I said, I am not a lawyer but this is really open ended to me. Negligent hiring? Emotional distress?

I support the intent but this thing needs to be looked at really careful.
As a conservative I don't want government intruding into every aspect of our lives. I also think there should be careful limits on the Governments interference with private companies and the contracts they write with their employees.

Then the last section "B". It exempts anyone not under US jurisdiction?
So how will it help anyone employed in a foreign country?

Maybe Franken shoulda called Perry Mason.
