Biden Dismisses Railroad Inspector General for Toxic Work Environment

The president takes action against workplace toxicity, contrasting with unaddressed allegations against White House officials.

President Joe Biden has fired U.S. Railroad Retirement Board Inspector General Martin Dickman over allegations of fostering a toxic work environment.
The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency initiated an investigation into Dickman in January 2023, finding evidence of abusive behavior.
Dickman, who has been with the Railroad Retirement Board since 1994, will be formally terminated on April 28.
Allegations of bullying and harassment have also been made against White House officials Anthony Bernal and Dr. Rahul Gupta, but remain uninvestigated.
On his first day in office, Biden vowed to fire any political appointee disrespecting colleagues, a promise now tested by these allegations.
