The association representing immigration judges across the country asked a federal labor authority Thursday to restore its collecting bargaining powers in its latest effort to survive a yearslong decertification fight.
The National Association of Immigration Judges, which was established in 1971 and had been a recognized union for more than four decades, filed a petition to the Federal Labor Relations Authority to be recognized as a new union.
The association was decertified three months ago when it lost its final agency appeal before a three-member FLRA panel. At the time, the panel was staffed with two Republican appointees.
