Saw this on Twitter last night as speculative, but the
Financial Post confirms it today. Even if he was wrongfully dismissed, Ghomeshi's threatened lawsuit was DOA because of a CBA:

Quote:
Jian Ghomeshi’s threatened $50-million lawsuit against the CBC has everything to do with strategy and PR — but nothing to do with legal entitlement.
Quite apart from the fact that his actual damages likely do not exceed 2% of that figure, unionized bargaining-unit employees (as CBC broadcasters are) can’t sue in court for wrongful dismissal. This suit will almost certainly be quickly struck down by the courts without Ghomeshi recovering a penny.

BTW, excellent use of "creepy face Jian" as the cover image for the embedded video in that story.
