Home Depot Sued Again

A 30-year veteran of the hardware business reportedly has rejected $1,000 from Home Depot to settle his wrongful termination suit, according to the Independent Newspaper Group.

Julien Zerbib, 49, claims that for months the Colma, Ca., store failed to intervene while an anti-Semitic coworker slurred and taunted him. In December, the store fired both men and unsuccessfully appealed Zerbib's applications for unemployment compensation.

Zerbib. whose in-laws are Holocaust survivors, was awarded 22 commendations during his nine months with Depot. His suit names his former supervisor, her boss and the firm with slander, libel, breach of contract, breach of faith, and violating the Fair Employment & Housing Act.
