Last year, the London-based interdealer broker ponied up more than $100,000 to settle a religious discrimination claim stemming from staffers forcing a Jewish colleague to wear a Nazi uniform because he was late. Now the Wall Street offices of Tullett are the subject of a similar claim . . . Louis Rehberger, who worked his way up from clerk to manager in his 19 years at Tullett, says in his Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint that his "co-workers handcuffed" him "to a chair on Friday afternoons and on Jewish holidays" so he'd be late to observe religious rites; placed ashes on his desk with a note saying they were his "relatives;" and smeared human feces on his microphone and "once" on his "lip.
Unbelievable. I hate to judge when I don't know all the facts, but I also find it unbelievable that Rehberger took this shit for so long. This company sounds worse than Texaco. What could be worth it? He's not a single mom facing sexual harassment at a dead-end low-paying factory job, he's on Wall Street. Would leaving compromise his future in the brokerage industry? Given the number of Jews on Wall Street, I can't imagine there was no one who could help him transition to another position elsewhere.
