Peterson was employed by post-network as a


Peterson was employed by Post-Network as a newscaster-anchorman on station WTOP-TV Channel 9 under a three-year employment contract with two additional one-year terms at the option of Post-Network. During the first year of Peterson’s employment, Post-Network sold its operation license to Evening News in a sale that provided for the assignment of all contracts, including Peterson’s employment contract. Peterson continued working for the station for more than a year after the change of ownership, but then found a job at a competing station and resigned. Evening News sued Peterson for breach of the employment contract. Can a person who was not an original party to a contract sue to enforce it? Was the assignment of Peterson’s employment contract a valid transfer, or does Peterson have a right not to have his employment transferred to another employer? Does Peterson have any right to enforce the contract between Post-Network and Evening News? Would it be ethical for Evening News to prevent Peterson from changing jobs and working for a competing station? Explain your reasoning.
