A Jewish employer was within his rights when he fired a worker who displayed a picture of Hitler at his workplace, an arbitrator ruled here. Henry Zett, owner of the Nu-Mode Dress Company, who had been interned in a Nazi concentration camp, fired the employe whose placing of Hitler’s picture offended many of his co-workers and Zett. The arbitrator ruled that Zett did not have to show cause for the dismissal under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. The employe, whose name was not made public, was awarded one week’s pay in lieu of notice.
