Good ol’ “Giuseppe Z” was minding his own business, watching a little porn on his lunch break, when some bastone in culo decided that this was too much for him to bear. Giuseppe lost his job, but he sued FIAT to get his job back.

In contrast, FIAT was within its rights to fire another worker for smoking weed at work. (source)
