> I mean, it could be interesting to discuss a more European style of employment where he couldn’t be fired for this

As a French person employed by a French Company, I can assure you that a regular employee talking to the media without the proper chain of approval is a fire-able offence (without any severance). Especially if your comments are not a glowing praise of the company.



I don't think they can fire you for bad mouthing employer. Unions would put short stop to that.

On other hand, if information you disclose is not yet disclosed and you are not approved to that it is more reasonable.
