A veteran Fire Department of New York (FDNY) firefighter is in hot water over wearing “Merit Matters” T-shirts while on the job.
According to the New York Post (http://bit.ly/1yRpm5w), the judge has recommended the FDNY fire Brooklyn firefighter Thomas Buttaro for wearing the anti-affirmative-action T-shirts to work.
The report says that Buttaro would wear T-shirts on duty bearing the logo and slogans of Merit Matters, a group opposed to altering the FDNY’s admissions test to accommodate minority recruits.
