The ALJ Improvement Board includes the text of a newsletter from the Association of Administrative Law Judges (AALJ), which is a union which represents Social Security's Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The newsletter summarizes a meeting on October 10 between the head of the AALJ and Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue and other top Social Security officials. To put it mildly, it was not a friendly meeting.
As I have said about another recent situation involving ALJs, this is painful to watch. Instant karma?
Read the newsletter while you can. I doubt that it will stay up long.

My sister-in-law took a job as a postal letter carrier. The first day, she was back from her 9 to 5 route around 2 PM. She was castigated by the union for "showing up" the union members who milked a five-hour job for eight hours. She was told not to walk "fast." The AALJ attack on those ALJ's and HOCALJ's who have taken steps to cut through the BS and work expeditiously is quite telling, and typical union crap.
ReplyDeleteSSA leadership hates the ALJ's, the ALJ's hate the SSA staff attys, and the staff attys hate the paralegals. My comment is a generalization, but ODAR can be viewed as a snake pit.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't bother me to see Ron Bernonski get some of his own medicine. LOLOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteYou are grossly mistaken. The ALJ's do not hate the attorneys or the paralegals.
ReplyDeleteSome offices everybody hates everybody else regardless of position.
