Re: breach of confidentiality

Probably, if you can show damages. While you can usually get liability, how is the case going to be compensated.

It is best if you speak to a lawyer about this but it seems that without a way to punish the offender, the court is without remedy and few if any lawyers would want a case like that.

You might try complaining to the union or asking that the company relieve this person of her job.

Good luck.
