15:36Now PlayingElon Musk is going after the very labor laws that he has broken. As DOGE’s illegal assault on federal workers rages on, and now it’s the NLRB and Department of Labor that are under attack.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency of the federal government that is tasked with enforcing U.S. labor laws. So naturally, Trump decided to oust senior official Gwynne Wilcox in order to cripple the agency. Just so happens that Elon Musk currently has SEVENTEEN INVESTIGATIONS against his companies ongoing at the NLRB. Conflict of interest much?
Then there is Elon Musk’s pet DOGE. They are going after the Department of Labor now by infiltrating the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, which tracks many economic indicators and often moves financial markets. But certainly Elon Musk wouldn’t use this information for his own personal financial gain? He’s a stand up guy. And it seems a federal judge agrees it’s totally fine for Musk and DOGE to have access to this information.
Federal workers are not taking this without a fight. The largest union of federal workers, American Federation of Government Employees, saw its ranks grow by fourteen thousand people in just five weeks and have also filed lawsuits against illegal firings, data access and buyouts.
Comedian and labor organizer Nato Green joins Francesca for a conversation about how labor organizing can fight back.
