The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is assigning two staffers to work with the NLRB in light of a whistleblower's report alleging potential removal of sensitive labor data. These representatives will operate part-time and remotely, requesting access to agency operations while ensuring the removal of personally identifiable information. This development has caused unrest among NLRB employees, who express panic about data security. The rationale behind DOGE's access to such sensitive information for efficiency improvements remains unclear, raising concerns about the implications for employee data protection and operational integrity.
"There is panic among the employees," said one of the employees. "My office has been in turmoil since this afternoon's email; people are concerned about the data."
"The representatives have requested information about agency operations but asked us to remove any personally identifiable information from documents we provide," the email reads.
"It's unclear why DOGE would need access to agency files that contain personally identifiable information to complete its mission of improving efficiency..."
"Consistent with the President's Executive Order and applicable laws, the Agency will comply with DOGE's requests for access and information."
