Balancing Data Protection and Workplace Justice GDPR’s Role in Employee Rights ..
summary
GDPR shows concrete limits: enforcement is sparse—below 50 complaints in most countries and DPA procedures take 3–4 years—even big platform cases (Uber, Deliveroo) get appealed and fines dilute. Algorithmic management tools appear in 40–60% deployment across sectors; national rules (Netherlands) mandate DPIAs for employee monitoring. Article 80(2) collective standing remains unimplemented, some statutes force unions to disclose membership data (Greece registry) and courts find such schemes unlawful. Proposals focus on stronger DPAs, sectoral collective agreements and product standards.
