The following is via the NJ Star Ledger:

A 51-year-old South Jersey man claims he was fired from his job because he wouldn’t fire a Jewish employee, according to a report on NYPost.com.

Thomas Greco asserts he lost his job as a superintendent at the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House in Lower Manhattan after not getting rid of a man his boss allegedly referred to as ” a “no-good New York City Jew.”

The boss, Howard Anastasi, is director of human resources at Brooks Range Contract Services, a maintenance company based in Alaska, the Post reported.

Greco, who lives in the Mickelton section of East Greenwich Township in Gloucester County — more than 100 miles away from his former Manhattan job — took his complaint to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the city Human Rights Commission in September.

Greco, who started his job in May 2011, slipped down a flight of steps a year after being hired and took a leave of absence, according to the Post. It’s not clear if he was still on leave when he was fired.

Anastasi declined to comment to NYPost.com.
