Woman, 80, fired from Home Depot because of 6-cent screw-up

But Ellen Strickland says her September firing had more to do with her age than the screw. She's suing the home-improvement giant for age discrimination in Queens Supreme Court.

"Her lawyer, Esther Goldbas, says Strickland was fired despite "a flawless record."
Strickland "performed an action that was common practice among store employees....Plaintiff was the only employee terminated for this action, while younger employees were not," the lawsuit claims."
