In actuality, it doesn’t matter, when you work for "KBR" in Iraq, whether you are American, TCN (Third Country National) or SCW (Sub Contract Worker) you are denied as being an employee of KBR when it is to their advantage. The Americans, although "trained" in Houston, Texas and required to use "Halliburton" or "KBR" branding, are actually sub contract workers, wtih their payrolls coming from Subcontract companies called Service Empolyees International, that are in actuality based in Uzbekistan or Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. KBR employees do not work for KBR, so KBR has no responsibility for benefits, nor social security taxes nor with-holding for income taxes. Even though you are an American worker, supposedly working for an Amercian company, they will deny it through their obfuscative layers of distancing and subcontracting processes. KBR and Halliburton executives are worse than ENRON. They have the highest executives of the federal government protecting them. They cheat and lie to the taxpayers and their own employees. - Been there - done that - and got the T-Shirt: Operation Iraqi Freedom, ex KBR worker
