Delivery Man Wins $900,000 Damages For Anti-Semitic Harassment
The New York Post reports that yesterday a jury in a New York federal district court awarded $900,000 in damages to restaurant delivery man Adam Wiercinski who, the jury found, was the target of virulent anti-Semitic harassment by three supervisors at the restaurant where he worked for 16 years. However the court also directed that the transcript of the trial be forwarded to the U.S. Attorney's Office because it showed that between 2000 and 2008, Wiercinski was receiving Social Security disability payments while also collecting his full delivery job pay under a fictitious name.
