Social Security Loses Arbitration Over National Hearing Center

Social Security has opened a National Hearing Center (NHC) with a few Administrative Law Judges (ALJs). The workflow in the National Hearing Center was arranged a bit differently and Social Security declared that the ALJs at the NHC were supervisors, making them ineligible to join the union that represents other Social Security ALJs. An anonymous poster on the ALJ Discussion Forum reports that the Social Security Administration has lost an arbitration on this issue. The ALJs in the NHC have been declared to not be supervisors and eligible to join the ALJ union.
