Men's Wearhouse Founder Zimmer Responds to His Firing

Men's Wearhouse founder George Zimmer fired back Thursday at claims that his "obstinate" desire to control the company led to his ouster last week. In an open letter, Zimmer said the company's directors unanimously nominated him for re-election to the board in May, but then "abruptly fired" him and postponed the annual stockholder meeting so they could nominate a new board "that excluded me."
