"Probe into NLRB and DOGE Interaction: Whistleblower Allegations and Data Privacy Concerns"
[!CDATA[The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is under investigation by its inspector general due to concerns raised about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) interacting with the NLRB. The investigation was prompted by whistleblower allegations made by an IT staffer, Daniel Berulis. The House Oversight Committee Democrats and the Congressional Labor Caucus have expressed concerns about potential technological malfeasance and illegal activity by DOGE at the NLRB. The NLRB spokesperson did not comment on the investigation, but denied granting DOGE access to its systems initially. The whistleblower report revealed that DOGE employees sought high-level access to NLRB systems and disabled tracking measures. This led to sensitive data leaving the agency's systems, raising concerns about the handling of personal information and potential retaliation against workers engaged in union activities. Despite the denial of access by the NLRB spokesperson, the whistleblower disclosure and NPR reporting indicated otherwise, with DOGE detailing two staffers to work part-time at the agency shortly after the allegations surfaced. Multiple federal court cases have alleged that DOGE staffers gained unauthorized access to sensitive data from various federal agencies, including Social Security data, without clear explanations on data access and privacy compliance. If you have information or evidence regarding DOGE's access to federal government data, you can contact the authors through encrypted communications on Signal. The investigation into the NLRB's interaction with DOGE continues, with concerns about the handling of sensitive data and potential privacy violations.]]
