Have you ever gotten someone fired because you didn't like them?

I have never liked those people in an office, who feel as if they are better than everyone else, and when their is competition, will get someone fired with a blatant lie. Case scenario, My husband has been having problems with a co worker, who is jealous because my husband is better at repairing things, and has tried to eliminate him many times to the point my husband fears for his job! the most recent scenario, is this guy actually told a co worker, that my husband said "he wanted to kill him" which was news to my husband! despite the fact this guy is nuts, he is union, and my husband is not. my point, is that if this guy said my husband threatened his life, why did he not call the police? (my husband did not threaten this guy, BTW) however, now it has come down to, will he be hired by this company, or not? he has put in alot of hours, and really doesn't need this crap. what would you do?
