Indictment of the Office of Personnel Management in the AI Copyright Supremacy by the President of the Department of Labor and Related Activities

The Office of Personnel Management and its acting director are among the defendants named in the case. The plaintiffs include over a hundred individual federal workers from across the US government as well as groups that represent them, including AFL-CIO, a coalition of labor unions, the American Federation of Government Employees, and the Association of Administrative Law Judges. The AFGE represents over 800,000 federal workers ranging from Social Security Administration employees to border patrol agents.

The plaintiffs are represented by prominent tech industry lawyers, including counsel from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, as well as Mark Lemley, an intellectual property and tech lawyer who recently dropped Meta as a client in its contentious AI copyright lawsuit because he objected to what he alleges is the company’s embrace of “neo-Nazi madness.”

There’s a risk that this information could be used to identify employees who are terminated because of improper considerations. There’s medical information, disability information, and information on people’s involvement with unions.

The team behind this most recent lawsuit plans to push even further. Lemley says the injunction is just the first phase of the campaign to stop the violation of the law. The next phase will include filing a class action lawsuit on behalf of impacted federal workers.

There was a correction on February 11th. President Donald Trump was not one of the defendants in the lawsuit. He is not in any way named as a defendant.

The White House will continue to fight the battles in court, and we expect to be vindicated, according to the press secretary. The President has the right to do what he can on behalf of the American people, who gave him a historic mandate to govern in November.

Data breach in the workplace induced by the Trump administration’s “fork-in-the-road” offer of deferred resignation

Increased access to OPM information could create new vulnerabilities for that data, experts fear. The OPM had a database breach in 2014 in which information on 20 million people was compromised.

The OPM is currently facing a lawsuit from labor groups over the Trump administration’s “fork in the road”offer of deferred resignation, which promised payment that Congress had not yet appropriated. The deadline for federal workers to consider taking the offer has been delayed pending further consideration by the court.
