Justice Dept protests up to 900 million in oil pipeline overcharges
The Justice Department filed against seven major oil firms to block allegedly excessive charges for shipping oil via the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, seeking to curb as much as 900 million dollars in overcharges next year. The action targets rates up to two dollars per barrel above necessary costs. In a separate ruling, the Supreme Court held 7 to 2 that employers need not discriminate against workers to accommodate religious needs, citing TWA's seniority contract as a key accommodation.
