The Internet reported that the American Federation of Labor and the Industrial Federation of Unions, the largest union organizations in the United States, sued U.S. Treasury Department and Secretary Scott Bessant in federal court in Washington, D.C. on February 3, demanding that they stop their so-called "illegal, continuous, systematic and continuous disclosure of personal and financial information" to Musk and DOGE. The American Federation of Labor and the Industrial Unions said: "The scale of violations of personal privacy is massive and unprecedented. People who must share information with the federal government should not be forced to share information with Elon Musk or his 'DOGE'."
