One of their workers was injured on the job, so Halliburton wants
to give him a metal to keep him from sueing.
Does Halliburton really have that power?

This guy isn't a soldier, he's a construction
worker.
It was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann
last night.

I'm not really surprised by Halliburton trying to bribe someone. The US military have tried to do similar things when their soldiers murder innocent people, trying to pay the family of the victims off with a lot of money to shut them up. Sadly, it appears to be Standard Operating Procedure and very immoral.

Sure, medals are cheap compared to a lawsuit.
He can still sue, unless he they stick a release of some sort on the back of the medal and have him sign it.

if this is true the man deserves a metal for putting his life on the line in a war zone for USA , surely the government would have to approve of the metal

A Medal for being injured at work ?
That sucks and it's very wrong .
They may have the political power to do it , but it is totally crap !
An injured worker has rights and he / she should persue their rights vigorously - Stuff the employer , regardless of who it is !

Wow, you're all about Halliburton today, aren't you?
Oh, there's a source. If you can't believe Olbermann, who can you believe?

Well, since one of their best friends works in the White House, and as we know, anyone who works in the White House can do pretty much whatever they want, I would say they will be able to do it with ease.
I didn't hear about this. Where did you hear it?

Halliburton will always try to supress the legal rights of its employees, especially if these are not well informed. I hope he SUES their a$s.

Please check your tin foil hat at the door. Thank you for helping us to keep the Republican majority by your insane ramblings.
