Sun CEO Says Firm Didn’t Discriminate

Sun Microsystems Inc., accused in a lawsuit of firing U.S. employees in favor of cheaper workers from India, does not discriminate and followed the law, Chief Executive Scott McNealy said.

Walter Kruz, a former manager at Sun, said he was fired from the software engineering job he held from 2000 to 2001 because he is a U.S. citizen.

Kruz’s suit is baseless, McNealy said on a visit to India, noting: “We did exactly the right thing, followed the law and we don’t discriminate in any shape or form.”
