CBS has fired a top legal executive after she commented on Facebook that she was “not even sympathetic” for the victims of the shooting at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday, October 1st.

Did Hayley Geftman-Gold’s online comments justify a ‘just cause’ termination from her job? Lior Samfiru, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, joined Global News Radio 640 Toronto, where the Toronto Employment Lawyer explained why her case may not qualify.
