It's not, it provides stability for both employee and employer, not being able to be ruthlessly laid off when a ceo sees a dip in quarterly earnings and has to appease the capital class pulling the strings stabilizes employees lives. Employees understanding this and engaging in it also gives the company planning room.

You could have these protections only for the employees and not for the employers.

If you as an employer have made your business completely dependent on a single employee you haven't done your job, especially if that person decides to leave suddenly.
