Haliburton Raids Employee Pensions
One more example of Halliburton malfeasance-- when it acquired a company called Dresser-Rand, it raided the pension fund then spun it off, booking a profit of $215 million as hundreds of employees found they had lost pension rights in the corporate takeover shuffle. Contrast this with Cheney's massive early pension payoffs when he left to become VP, despite the fact that he was owed nothing under the contract with Halliburton.

My uncle lost his pension in the Hailburton/Dresser Rand deal right before he had planned to retire...he's 66 and now can't retire until he's at least 70. He's worked for the company for over 20 years (maybe 30, I'm not sure). It's pretty criminal that this could "legally' happen.
