I could not have expressed myself better.  I have been an MT for 35+ years and have watched our line count/rates decline and be manipulated.   We "the worker bees" are the ones that take it in the shorts...the big companies still get their profits.  Our "professional" organization does not even support us.  It is all about politics and lining pockets.  If I did not love what I am doing, I would have thrown in the towel a long time ago.
