ghomeshi has no case against CBC: Lawyer
Being part of a union makes
lawsuit a moot point
By SaBrina nanji
One Of the CBC'S best known person-
alities, Jian Ghomeshi, may not have a case
against his employer after he was fired over
allegations of violence and sexual assault.
But because Ghomeshi is a unionized em-
ployee, he is unable to sue the public broad-
caster, according to labour lawyers.
Ghomeshi, host of the CBC's radio program
Q, has been at the centre of a sordid affair that
came to light when he was fired from his cul-
tural affairs show on Oct. 26.
The CBC cited "serious deliberation and
careful consideration" in its decision to let
Ghomeshi go.
Later that day, Ghomeshi detailed in a Face-
book post that he was fired for his actions in
the bedroom.
"I've been fired from the CBC because of the
risk of my private sex life being made public,"
