Halliburton Sues Retired Executives

Halliburton Sues Retired Executives

2 hours ago

HOUSTON - Halliburton Co. is suing three retired executives who complained about a company plan to stop providing health insurance for retirees eligible for Medicare.

The lawsuit was filed after the retirees, including former Halliburton vice president of human resources Paul Bryant, sent a letter to company officials to complain about the change. Bryant, 58, retired from the oil services conglomerate in 1999.

Halliburton spokeswoman Zelma Branch said the company sued so the dispute would be resolved quickly, allowing the retirees to arrange for their own medical coverage.

The retirees and Halliburton officials both want a judge to certify the case as a class-action lawsuit.

4. It sounds like a SLAPP suit. Typical fascist corporatism.
