A coalition of labor groups filed a lawsuit Wednesday to prevent DOGE — Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency — from attempting to take over the Labor Department and gaining access to its data. The agency holds sensitive data likely including worker complaints against Musk and his companies. The plaintiffs include the AFL-CIO, American Federation of Government Employees, Service Employees International Union and the Economic Policy Institute.

Labor Department workers rallied in D.C. Wednesday against an expected incursion by Elon Musk, joined by Democratic lawmakers. This is Michigan Congressmember Rashida Tlaib.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “We don’t get the benefits and the support and the protections but for the fact that workers organized, and they pushed back, and they fought. And when we don’t get it, we shut it down! If we don’t get it?”

Crowd: “Shut it down!”

In more labor news, a former board member of the National Labor Relations Board, Gwynne Wilcox, filed a lawsuit calling her firing by Trump last month “unprecedented and illegal,” asking a federal court to reinstate her. NLRB members are Senate-approved to fixed terms and can only be removed for “neglect of duty or malfeasance.”
