The AFL-CIO and several of its affiliated gov't employee unions sued Wednesday over fears that Elon Musk’s Department of Gov't Efficiency (DOGE) is on the cusp of unlawfully gaining access to the Labor Dept.
Musk’s team has instituted sweeping changes to the executive branch in the first weeks of Pres. Trump’s administration, including moving to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development and to access the Treasury Dept’s payment system. “Today, they will come for the Department of Labor,” the lawsuit states, warning that it could provide Musk with nonpublic information about investigations into his companies.
The plaintiffs cited at least one Labor Dept employee that was told DOGE plans to visit and “to do whatever they ask, not to push back, not to ask questions.”
