 Political activity: Federal law, DOD rules dictate employee do’s and don’ts 

                    FORT BELVOIR, Va. —                                                Whether federal employees are violating the Hatch Act often depends more on when and where they participate in political activities than on the activities themselves.

  Land and Maritime’s second annual leader-led ethics training an interactive affair 

                    COLUMBUS, Ohio —                                                Ethics training is often thought of as a dry and boring requirement, but the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime’s Legal Office livened it up a bit with an interactive hybrid event on Oct. 7 featuring a panel of Land and Maritime leaders from across the enterprise recounting ethical challenges they have faced in their careers.

                                Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper's latest ethics message lays out the importance of political activity rules that Defense Department civilian employees and service members must follow.

 Hatch Act restricts federal employees’ political activity on social media  

                    FORT BELVOIR, Virginia —                                                The use of social media makes it easy for federal employees to violate the Hatch act, but these rules answer common questions and clear misconceptions.

 Workforce must follow rules set by Hatch Act 

                                As local, state and federal elections approach, employees must be aware of the law restricting political expression in the federal workplace, during duty hours, or on federal property at any time. All civilian employees of DLA are required to abide by the Hatch Act of 1939.

 Employees required to abide by Hatch Act 

                                With the election season now in full swing, it’s important that DLA employees be aware of rules that apply to them under the provisions of the Hatch Act, 5 U.S.C. Section 7323, which limits political activities of all federal employees.

 If these walls could talk: Political paraphernalia under the Hatch Act 

                                Not all communication is electronic. And not all political activity prohibited by the Hatch Act is written or spoken.

 You’ve got mail: The Hatch Act and email 

                                Most federal employees are aware they shouldn’t be discussing whom they support for political office while at work or on federal property. And recent articles have made clear the rules for social media. But what about email?

 A little less conversation: The Hatch Act and discussions with coworkers 

                                As the presidential and congressional elections approach, federal employees must abide by the restrictions on political activity set forth in the Hatch Act. To that end, DLA’s Office of General Counsel and Office of Public Affairs are offering periodic guidance — answers to common questions that employees may have about what they can and can’t say and do in everyday situations.
