Concerns are mounting at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after two staffers from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were assigned to the agency following whistleblower allegations of unauthorized data access. The move comes just after a whistleblower claimed DOGE may have already removed sensitive labor data, including union-related and personal information, from the NLRB’s systems. Employees say the atmosphere is tense, with fears about data integrity and transparency. Officials insist there’s been no system breach, but whistleblower documents suggest DOGE accessed and altered agency accounts. Lawmakers are now pushing for an investigation into whether DOGE violated federal law.
