Let em eat storm water!
A janitor at Goldman Sachs Battery Park headquarters was forced out into the dark and dangerous streets in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy because a drunken supervisor accused him of stealing $100, according to a new, $10 million lawsuit.
They threw me out like a dog after working so many hours-- no sleep, hauling sandbags, for no reason, raged Mefit Zecevic, 42, of Staten Island.
The Albanian immigrant was employed by ABM Industries for 11 years.
The company supplied blue collar staff to Goldman Sachs and Zecevic was ordered in to work at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 28 to secure the building before the superstorm struck.

I'd feel even better if the United States had sued them for violation of banking laws . . .
Good luck Mr. Zecevic.

Security footage from the building proves Zecevic's innocence, Perniciaro said.
A member of the Service Employees International Union, Zecevic filed a grievance proceeding to get his job. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
A spokesman for Fifth Avenue-based ABM Industries said: Mr. Zecevics claims and characterizations are inaccurate and misleading, including but not limited to his descriptions of the circumstances surrounding his termination for theft and his departure. Because this is pending litigation, we intend to let our legal filings speak for themselves.
