“It goes beyond its responsibilities by seeking to dismantle services responsible for critical programs and to dismiss mass federal workers”
Federal judge on Friday refused to prevent the government’s spending cuts department Pillar From access to the systems of the US Ministry of Labor, an initial regression for state officials who resist his efforts to shrink federal bureaucracy.
The temporary decision of US regional judge John Bates in Washington is the first step in lawsuit against the Ministry of Labor by one of the largest US labor unions, which claims that Musk could receive sensitive information about his own companies and competitors, having access to government computer systems.
The president Donald Trump He appointed Musk, the richest man in the world and owner of the Tesla electric vehicle company, SpaceX Space Technology and other companies, led by the so -called Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge, responsible for detecting fraud and waste in the government.
Musk’s attempts have been upset by legislators and defense groups that say that exceeds its responsibilities by seeking to dismantle services who are responsible for critical government programs and to dismiss mass federal workers.
Another group of federal workers and pensioners federally sued the US Treasury to block, he says, the illegal transmission of sensitive payment files to his Doge personnel. The Ministry of Finance temporarily agreed on Wednesday not to provide further access while the case was pending.
In the lawsuit of the Ministry of Labor, the US Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations have asked the court to prevent what it described as a forthcoming MSK plan to access the department’s systems.
The trade union, which employs about 800,000 government officials, said it would give Musk access to non -public information from Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha) surveys in Tesla and its tunnel manufacturing company The Boring Company. And in research on its competitors.
The trade union also said that in the absence of judicial intervention, the dog could have access to data from the Economic Statistics Statistics and sensitive information on government officials, including those who have submitted employee compensation applications.
The White House said Musk would resign from issues in which he has a conflict of interest. As a so -called specialist civil servant, he is subject to some and not all the rules of conflict of interest and ethics for federal workers.
The rapid acquisition of US government services by Musk has allowed South Africa -born businessman to exercise unprecedented control over the federal workforce of the 2.2 million members of America and launch a dramatic reform of the government.
Musk has already moved to close the US International Development Service and says he is canceling dozens of government consultants and leases.
