So long as what is being discussed does not constitue slander (e.g. is untrue) or divulging such information is not prohibited by the terms of any applicable employment contract or union agreement, it is legal. The fact is that there is no right to privacy in such a situation. Therefore, while possibly unprofessional, such action violates no law.
