Wrongfully fired by US employer but employee has EU protection

An American company mandated a Dutch employee to be online, share his screen and turn on his webcam for whole working days when he was in a training. The employee was online and shared his screen but refused to turn on his webcam because the employer could see his screen for nine hours a day and track his work. The employer fired the employee for insubordination and refusal to work. The court ordered the firing was unlawful and they have to pay the employee about 70k. The demand to turn on your camera the entire day was a violation of the employees privacy. Source: https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/inziendocument?id=ECLI:NL:RBZWB:2022:5656
