Disney Fired Whistleblower, Manager Says

Disney Fired Whistleblower, Manager Says

LOS ANGELES (CN) - Disney fired a manager for reporting the sexual harassment of a male employee, the man claims in court.
Robert Klein sued Walt Disney Co. for retaliation and wrongful firing, in Federal Court.

As a manager of collections and preservation, Klein says, Disney trusted him so far as to let him represent the company on TV chat shows, including "The View."

But it fired him in September 2011, for reporting that a female employee had sent "lewd" and "pornographic" to another Disney employee, Klein says in his complaint.

In doing so, he claims, Disney failed to "adhere to its own alleged anti-retaliation policy."
