CBS ordered the payment of nearly $ 10 million to the CEO, who was called anchor

CBS was ordered to pay nearly $ 10 million to senior CEO who was rejected before completing an internal investigation into allegations that he made racist and sexual statements, according to New York Post reports. The notes, according to the court documents and its lawyer, included summoning the black “JIVE” anchor and describing “very gay”. It is claimed that CBS acted under pressure from what the legal team called the “mob” executive authority.Peter Dan, who served as head of CBS TV stations, was removed in 2021 after the Los Angeles Times published a report accusing him of strengthening an enemy work environment. The broadcaster suspended Dunn and another executive authority and began an internal review. However, Dunn was launched before the investigation was completed. At that time, CBS said that the termination would be treated “as if it was without reason”, but the company can reconsider the matter as soon as the investigation ends.After months, after completing its review, CBS tried to reclassify Dunn’s dismissal as “for the reason”, which would have allowed the company to block wage and stock prizes. This step led to the follow -up of the arbitration, as a committee of retired judges found that the company violated the employment contract.The Appeals Committee ruled that CBS has no right to delay its decision on whether the shooting was for the reason. The contract requires the company to take this decision at the time of the dismissal, and not retroactively. The arbitrators said that the broadcaster cannot invent a “new and mysterious third option” to postpone his choice.CBS must now pay more than $ 7 million as compensation, in addition to interest, up to nearly 9.78 million dollars.“This was not Peter’s behavior,” Larry Hatcher, a lawyer for Den, told the New York Post.CBS responded to the referee by referring to a procedural case and insisted that it does not agree to the result. “Four years ago, we removed Peter Dan as head of CBS TV stations for reasons that have been well documented and publicly reported,” a spokesman said. “This decision was not based on allegations against Mr. Den.”Hatcher argued that CBS should have simply suspended Dunn and waited for an investigation to end before making any decision on his work. He said: “The appropriate and wise response was his suspension, and continued to pay it, and waited for the completion of the investigation, then shot him.”He also indicated that Den spent more than 20 years in CBS and was focusing on restoring his reputation. Hattar said: “We are grateful because the original arbitrator and the Appeals Committee agreed with Mr. Dunn that he was wrong.” “We look forward to emphasizing the award in the Supreme Court so that we can implement this ruling.”CBS maintains that it stands alongside the results of the investigation and the resulting decisions. The company added: “We are grateful to many votes that spoke in a process that led to a major cultural change in our TV stations.”
