The Inspector General of the National Labor and Industrial Relations Commission is investigating the NPR's interaction with the NLRB after NPR's sensitive data leaves the agency.

The investigation was first reported by the federal government, which filed a record request for information related to allegations related to IT employee Daniel Berulis in a formal whistleblower disclosure last month.

The Fed reported on Thursday that the media request was denied “based on the exemption that allows agencies to withhold records contained in public investigation files, where reasonable disclosure can be reasonably interfere with law enforcement procedures. ”

The OIG's inquiry was written by the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee to the acting inspector general of Labor Luiz Santos and NLRB Inspector General Ruth Blevins, who expressed concerns that "there may be engaging in technical obstacles and illegal activities."

A spokesman for the House Oversight Committee confirmed in a statement to NPR that the NLRB OIG investigation was "related to the committee's concerns about the whistleblower allegations."

More than 50 House Democrats in the Congressional Labor Caucus also signed a letter asking the NLRB to provide more information on Doge's activities in an independent agency, which investigates and ruling complaints about unfair labor practices and protects the right of American workers to unionize.

"These revelations in the whistleblower's report are very concerned," the legislator wrote in a letter to acting NLRB general counsel William Cowen. "If true, these revelations describe a reckless approach to processing sensitive personal information of workers, which could cause retaliation for legal protection of coalition activities."

NLRB spokesman Tim Bearese did not respond to a request for comment about the investigation.

However, when NPR's story was first published, Bearese denied that the agency granted Doge access to its system, and said Doge did not require access to the agency's system. Bearese said the agency investigated after Berulis raised concerns but “confirmed no violation of the proxy system occurred.”

According to NPR's whistleblower disclosure and reporting, Doge employees require the highest level of access to the NLRB system and persons with disabilities tracking measures. IT staffer Berulis tracked sensitive data, causing the agency's NXGEN CASE Management System, and then saw an unusually large surge in outbound traffic, making the network itself.

The day after the NPR report whistleblower disclosed and alleged, Doge also gave the agency a detailed introduction to "how many months of part-time jobs."

Several federal court cases say that Governor’s staff have illegally obtained sensitive data maintained by government federal agencies, such as Social Security data, with little explanation for who can access the data and that access is in compliance with privacy laws.

Is there any information or evidence about Doge getting access to data within the federal government? Contact the author via encrypted communication on the signal.
