Re: Employee poaching?

Employment contracts in the US are very disturbing.

Singer Kesha accused her producer of raping her and tried to terminate her contract on those grounds. Unfortunately for her the contract contained a clause states that rape or abuse were not grounds for termination of the contract, the judge not only ruled that she was required to continue to produce the agreed number of singles as stated in the contract (or pay them a lot of money for breach of contract) but that she also couldn't get a restraining order against her producer because she was required to continue working with him.
