court house news HOUSTON (CN) - Another woman has sued Kellogg, Brown and Root, claiming she was sexually assaulted while working in Afghanistan, and was fired after she reported it. And she claims that KBR had the brass to accuse her of "creating a hostile work environment" by reporting a sexual assault on another woman in the workplace.
In her federal complaint, the plaintiff, S.T., says she started working for KBR as a logistics warehouseman in November 2008 at the Jalalabad Base in Afghanistan, then was transferred to Kandahar Base.
After she reported that her supervisor was "discriminating against foreign employees and minorities and was forcing employees participate in illegal activities" her boss tried to increase her workload, she says.
She was transferred to Bagram Airfield, and worked in the laundry department, she says. A co-worker there reported that she had been sexually assaulted by an Afghan local working for KBR, and S.T. provided a written statement confirming the assault, according to the complaint.
"Despite plaintiff's complaints, no action was taken," she says. "Instead, KBR and its employees falsely alleged that plaintiff was creating a hostile work environment."
