Part of the agreement signed by the employees every year is that nothing that goes over the network is private.
And do you have a similar agreement signed by Google? There are many legal jurisdictions where lawful intercept requires the consent of both parties. The European Court has already upheld that employees have a right to privacy and the fact that communications are carried out at a work place does not void that right.
Were it a legal problem, it would have already been tried long ago
Most people are completely unaware. There are school educational authorities out there that intercept, decrypt and monitor the communications of thousands of people, including children (in many jurisdictions there are special laws that protect children from monitoring by their school), how many of those people release that this is going on? At some point, some employer is going to be monitoring his employees gmails and facebook messages, and he is going to use that information inappropriately, and then they will realise that this monitoring is going on and sue. But until it becomes an issue, nobody is going to bother.
