Trying to protect basic workers' rights through legislation that protects personal information is downright weird. You'd think workers should be better protected than just random people who share their personal information. Article 22 even acknowledges this to some extent, making an explicit exception for people who have some other kind of contract (including employment) and for which the law has defined suitable safeguards. U.S. employment legislation is indeed not a sufficient safeguard, but the fact that it insufficiently protects privacy is somewhat of an understatement.
