The Trump administration asked a federal panel to revoke the exclusive right of a public sector union to represent immigration judges in collective bargaining Friday.
The union, the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ), has been at odds with the administration over substantive policy directives and the independence of the immigration courts.

There’s a labor union of immigration judges?
How can they possibly claim to be fair and impartial?
You beat me to the question. No more wonder our country is in the dump.
In the private sector, this would be called insider trading.
These mainly Lefty judges have a union?
ALL government unions should be abolished. Including cops and firemen.
Absolutely. A government employees’ union is an inherently seditious construct.
Public sector unions were created by Executive Order (JFK). A president can eliminate them by Executive Order.
I can’t believe there is a labor union for judges - much less, specific areas of the law.
How can they possibly claim “fairness and impartiality” when they’re basically colluding with each other?
Unreal!!!!!
it’s because these are article I administrative judges, not article III judges with life tenure. article III judges have a lobbying group but not a union b/c with life tenure you don’t need one.
Pork? Has anyone asked Ihlan Omar or Tlalib for comment?
Note that immigration judges are just bureaucrats, not appointed and confirmed judges. They report to AG Barr and are not independent.
“Public sector unions were created by Executive Order (JFK). A president can eliminate them by Executive Order.”
Trump can’t do that. The democrats would become hysterical. They would call him bad, and a racist sexist xenophobe phobophobe. Mobs would attack people in the street, and the news media would call for impeachment
Good story.
Now tell me the one about Reagan and the Air Traffic Controllers again, will you?
Yes, the demographic over-representation would reveal the fake upper middle class construct that feeds the Democratic machine.
Kennedy’s EO was later enacted into law by Congress. Only Congress can repeal it.
Judges have a union?!
I thought that professional, salaried people cannot have unions, only hourly workers.
Start by dissolving the judges union as illegal.
The judges have a union? That’s just bullshit.
What in the wide wide world of sports? The judges have a friggin’ union? Guess I missed that one. Srsly? SIEU? Teamsters? UAW? AFSCUME
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
New one on me too.
Another way we’re funding our own adversaries
What a racket
all the more reason to dislike lawyers LOL
Hopefully they will walk out and then can be replaced
