CONGRATS TO AFGE TO CLUBBING DOGE ONCE AGAIN

Unions are fighting Trump and the ghost of Elon in very imaginative ways. I always love to see unions stepping outside the normal collective bargaining tools such as ULP’s, grievances, etc. to surprise the White House by coming from a new direction.  AFGE did just that by winning a case in federal court this week. The judge wrote, “The plaintiffs [AFGE} have shown that the defendants disclosed OPM records to individuals who had no legal right of access to those records. In doing so, the defendants violated the Privacy Act and departed from cybersecurity standards that they are obligated to follow….This was a breach of law and of trust. Tens of millions of Americans depend on the Government to safeguard records that reveal their most private and sensitive affairs,….”  Here is a new story with more details about AFGE’s victory. Who knows?  Perhaps we will all be getting a check from DOGE for damage done.
