More than 50 Democratic lawmakers signed A message that requires answers One of the senior US government officials about the last possible exposure to sensitive data about American workers.
The letter is sent to the Acting General Adviser to the National Council for Labor Relations, William Quinn. The Independent Agency is responsible for investigating complaints about unfair work practices and protecting the rights of American workers in forming unions.
Legislators, who are part of the Congress’ employment gathering, wrote the message in light of the news reported by NPR for the first time, that those whose amounts of violations within the NLRB IT department say that Dog has removed sensitive employment data and exposed NLRB systems to threaten them.
The lawmakers wrote in the letter to Queen: “This revelation from the report of those informed of violations raises anxiety for several reasons.” “If this is true, this revelation describes a reckless approach to dealing with the personal -sensitive information of workers, which can leave these workers vulnerable to revenge in order to engage in the activity of the union legally protected.”
The letter indicates an official disclosure of the infringements of Daniel Birolis, a cloud official in the NLRB IT Department, who also spoke to NPR in multiple interviews.
In his disclosure, Bruce participated that he was initially concerned in March when the members of the initiative of the head of the Ministry of Governmental efficiency of President Trump arrived at the agency and demanded high -level access to the regulations without registering their activities. These concerns escalated after following a large part of the data, leaving the agency at the same time as many security controls and audit tools were stopped, the detection continues.
Ultimately, Bruce became concerned that Doug, led by Trump’s adviser and billionaire director, Elon Musk, could have reached sensitive internal information about continuous investigations into American companies, witnesses of witnesses, and even companies’ secrets. Bruce explained that the alleged, unsafe and data removal practices can also create weaknesses for criminal infiltrators or foreign opponents for their exploitation.
It is not clear how this DOGE data will be, whose declared mission is to make the government more efficient and reduce federal spending. One of the central questions of the legislators was about the reason for Dog needed to reach the internal NLRB systems to reduce government spending.
“Given Dog’s desire to access sensitive information in other federal agencies with a focus on payment information, it is not clear because of Dog’s interest in NLRB data that has nothing to do with federal payments.”
Legionships were also concerned about the conflict of the potential interests of DOGE leaders such as Musk who may benefit from access to sensitive work data at a time when NLRB has continuous cases including Musk companies including Spacex and Tesla. They wrote: “Moreover, Elon Musk, whom Donald Trump said repeatedly and repeatedly that he is a” official “, has a number of cases before the Board of Directors and also follows many lawsuits to challenge the constitutionality of the council itself.
Members urged NLRB leadership to take immediate measures to answer questions about Dogs’s alleged arrival, given the fact that “DOGE officials were present again at the NLRB headquarters” and they will be detailed part -time at the agency during the next two months, according to a message sent to NLRB employees last week.
NLRB NPR told that they had no records to visit Doug early in March, and did not give up official access to her systems, and they have not received an official request from Doge to reach the systems. Meanwhile, NLRB said that there is an internal review of a possible violation inside the agency after Bruce raised his concerns, and that NLRB officials have ruled out a breach. However, Birolis argued that the criminal evidence he made had made more investigations by the agencies with additional investigation resources.
The disclosure of Bruce comes at a time when there were more than ten court cases claiming that Duji’s employees have offended the data of the sensitive government through various agencies, starting from the Treasury to the Social Security Administration.
