That doesn't seem right where are you getting that? A workplace is probably not considered "public" so a third party might be restricted on recording you there. But your employer isn't a third party here so you're straight back into og labor relations and what does your contract say and what does your union allow etc.
In Germany the entire premise of monitoring performance is prohibited. Employers aren't even allowed to look at email.

How do they evaluate people for promotion if you aren't allowed to monitor anyone's performance in any way?
Big difference if you use automated means and whether you introspect on how work is performed rather than look at the final product. I have seen places where running reports of LOCs or commits is strictly forbidden to avoid lawsuits.
Not to mention that I'm always a bit nervous typing passwords into a computer under the eyes of recording machines.
