| Fired S&P Employee Files Bias Lawsuit |
A former employee of Standard & Poor's has filed a $5 million discrimination lawsuit that accuses the financial information company of allowing other employees to harass and humiliate him because of his Hispanic ancestry and then fire him because he complained. Raphael Garcia, of the Bronx, says in papers filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court that somebody spat on his computer keyboard while he was away from his desk and rummaged through his drawers and personal belongings. A senior quality assurance engineer who began working for S&P in December 2002, Garcia earned $97,000 a year, he says. His court papers say his job conditions were fine until September 2005, when Marjie Veselik became manager of the quality assurance team he worked on. Garcia says Veselik began "humiliating and hostile discriminatory harassment" against him, including calling him profane and racist names, denying him training and advancement opportunities and depriving him of previous job responsibilities.
