Does anyone know if there has been a TAA petition - xx


Posted: Aug 16, 2013

filed with the DOL for Nuance employees?  I know MModal has one and lots of their employees, both past and present, are taking advantage of the schooling and other benefits.  If not filed for Nuance employees could we model one after the MModal petition?  Anybody have any information? 

are nuance emplouees getting laid off? - need 3 who were laid off to file

That's not the info I got on the DOL website. - ss

don't have to be laid off, don't need 3 if unable to find 3 (especially hard with at home employees). Can file individually with the help of DOL. I just want to know if anyone has filed a petition already or not.

There have been some layoffs.... - few and quietly

[ In Reply To ..]
They call it "weeding out."

I don't think Nuance lays off. - ch

They just make you so miserable you quit.

Yes, Nuance drives you to self-terminate. - Anon

It is the most miserable job I ever had and I just hit a wall where I could not take it any more and simply quit.

I work for MModal, so you know Nuance must be bad to choose MM over Nuance. I will take my chances with being laid-off, at least I have a great supervisor, 5 more days of PTO than at Nuance, a better account, a better system, the list goes on and on.

Besides if I get laid-off at MM, I can get TAA and get free re-training.

Nuance is THE WORST JOB I ever had.

TAA Petition =
Jan 21, 2010

As suggested the other day, I e-mailed my TAA regional director since all I was getting from my One-Stop Career Center person & UI was that I needed a letter stating a lay off date or that there was an imminent threat of lay off. She sent me a note, then cc'd my e-mail to my state director.  Here are their responses: Regional:  You would need a qualifying separation in order to be eligible for Trade benefits as you have not been determined to be an adversely affected incumbe ...

As many of you know, EMR companies charge fees upwards of 15,000 dollars to allow transcription companies to integrate with them. This barrier to entry will lead to us all being replaced by voice recognition or point and click unless we all do something. There is no reason transcriptionists can not co-exist with EMR's. Doctors still need someone to type their records up for them. It is simply a faster and a more efficient use of resources to keep us in the loop. Eliminating these EMR fees ...
