but the cbi president has said mr danker�*s account of events was "selective."ere was selective. tony and i had a conversation when he was dismissed, i followed it up with a legal letter explaining everything in detail, so there's more in that letter than we just talked about. you haven't shown him the law firm's report? that's correct. why haven't you shown him that report? that report was commissioned by the board using a law firm, and those who spoke to it were offered confidentiality, their comments would not be relayed. and that was the basis on which we ran the report, the basis on which tony danker knew the report was being run. live now to our business editor simonjack. tell me first of all the report we are talking about here. have you seen it, has anyone seen it? i haven't seen it and tony danker himself hasn't seen it which perhaps is odd given it was the basis for his dismissal, but what he did tell me was the four grounds he said he was dismissed for, and it said they were private karaoke party for 15 people after christmas dinner following the publ

tony danker will leave the group with immediate effect.e allegations over his behaviour towards a female employee. with more on this, here is our business correspondent emma simpson. hi, emma. what we know? this story has absolutely rocked the cbi. tony danker stepped aside last month as an investigation got under way, but the report into what happened hasn't been published. it was done by an independent legal firm. we don't know the full details. the cbi said todayit know the full details. the cbi said today it related to specific complaints about workplace and that it determined that his conduct fell short of that expected of the director general, so he has been sacked with immediate effect. he is clearly not happy about it because he said on twitter this morning he was shocked to learn about his dismissal, instead of being invited to put forward his position sang many of the allegations against him had been distorted. he said that he recognised he unintentionally made a number of colleagues feel uncomfortable and he was truly sorry abou

yeah, tony danker was dismissed as director on april the 11th.cluding the rape claim, before he evenjoint. the cbi said it has been clear he wasn't involved in any of those claims but was sacked because of allegations about his personal conduct, stating staff members out for coffee one—to—one, using work messaging channels for non—work channels and organising a karaoke party after a christmas event. the cbi claimed they had strong legal grounds for his dismissal. tony danker acknowledged he had made some staff feel uncomfortable, as he put it, and has apologised for that, but he said the claims had been distorted and his reputation destroyed because he has become a fall guy for this wider crisis. and i should say he is considering legal action. the cbi is a massive lobbying group, they claim to speak for 190,000 businesses, lobbying group, they claim to speak for190,000 businesses, many lobbying group, they claim to speak for 190,000 businesses, many of which are considering their position. the government is also paws relations. we know an indepe

we cannot talk about the subjec in relation to danker because it is his word against theirs and it maye to court. but it has started a conversation, i think, in many households -- certainly mine- about what constitutes bullying, whether the standard has shifted, and whether there is a generational divide in the workace about where the line is. i wonder what you think about that. >> well, i think as a starting point we all believe that we should feel safe, then we should be safe, be treated with dignity and respect at work as a starting point, and that our employers have a responsibility to support and create a positive working culture. but sadly, we know in fact that isn't the case. if you make sexual harassment -- take sexual harassment, 40% of women experience sexual harassment during their working lives. that is much higher for other groups -- seven in 10 disabled women experience sexual harassment at work and seven intent lgbt -- seven in 10 lgbt people. we have a broad and wide-ranging problem. instead of worrying about whether the threshold is quite right, it seems we need to be
