That means they can't even sue KBR for firing them after speaking up. And worse, since the private arbiters are hired by KBR, who do you think those arbiters are going to find in favor of? The company that hires them, of course. Basically, these women have almost no options to get justice for the horrific actions happening to them. And the US government is doing absolutely nothing to help them.
