Federal workers are facing new accountability measures. The Trump administration has ordered that all federal employees must explain what they did over the last week. Elon Musk is leading the charge of government accountability, but critics say he doesn’t have the authority. Musk says the measure ensures that everyone receiving a paycheck is actually working. The Trump administration has promised to cut the size of the federal government and it’s within the scope of the executive branch to ensure accountability of federal works. As a result, unions have threatened legal action, arguing this move infringes on worker rights. But does any worker, whether in the public or private sector, have a right to a job if they aren’t working or making an effort to show their boss what they’ve done in the last week?
