Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Disloser Of Termination

My employment was terminated approximately 1 year ago. I have always heard that it was illegal for an employer to discuss terms and reasons for termination with other employees, however, I recently met a former fellow employee who says that he knew that I was terminated from the job, even though he was NOT in my department and had no reasonable right to know that I had left or under what circumstances. Can I bring some kind of legal charges against my former employer for leaking this information to people that should not have that information?
