AFSCME’s Saunders: The court agrees – hands off Social Security
WASHINGTON – AFSCME President Lee Saunders released the following statement in response to the U.S. District Court of Maryland granting a temporary restraining order against DOGE’s access to the Social Security Administration:
“This is a major win for working people and retirees across the country. The court saw that Elon Musk and his unqualified lackeys present a grave danger to Social Security and have illegally accessed the data of millions of Americans. This decision will not only force them to delete any data they have currently saved, but it will also block them from further sharing, accessing or disclosing our Social Security information. AFSCME is proud to have led the case against this power grab that threatens the economic well-being of millions of seniors and people with disabilities. And we will continue to fight to protect Social Security for current and future generations.”
