these days do ANYTHING to protect the interest of the MT..or is their only interest is pandering to the MTSOs and finding minute ways to tear apart a report (i.e. the ever changing and arbitrary BOS)?
Why isn't this organization, who supposedly is an organization to support the profession of MTs and not the Industry per se..but the individual professional, not more vocal about off-shoring..about the drastic reduction in pay...about how advancements in technology (ASR) is used as a tool to again drastrically reduce out pay, instead of enhancing (all the while MTSO are absolutely charging clients the same price for ASR report or MT'd report).
Am I being naive? I have never gone to a conference, but I am assuming it is just one big exhibitor love fest between MTSOs, transcription software platforms, etc...and not serving the interest of the individual MT. Anybody have experience with this useless group? Am I wrong? We as a profession would be greatly served by collective bargaining and since we are individual and isolated, we have no collective bargaining, which is why huge MTSO get to do whatever they want without so much as a blip from the 1000s of MTs they employ. Would not AAMT serve us in that regard? UNION!! UNION!! UNION!! UNION!! |
