Trade-act - wondering

Has anyone investigated MQ's TAA petition? I just read about it a minute ago and wondered...sounds too good to be true ...

Can someone please give me some info on where to find out this info and petition number. Thank you. ...

I have a job. I do not want it. I am sick of being an MT. There are newbies who want to be an MT. I want to help a newbie. I got offered 3 jobs and took this one, and I still don't want it. Newbies get offered no jobs. I wish I could fix this. Here I am with an unwanted job, and wanting to help a newbie, and there is nothing to do about it!! I would love to explain medical terminology and VR and the ins and outs of production work, I just do NOT want to do it myself any more!! Where ca ...

Been working with VR since last October. After rebuilding shorthand file and adding words to autocorrect for the last 5 months, I feel those items are no longer a insignificant factor hampering my production. Sadly, I'm finding I'm not as productive as I need to be in order to make a living. Anyone have any VR tricks to increase production? I'm headed to the poor house if I don't get this figured out soon! Truly appreciate any help you can o ...

I am looking for any Axolotl MTs who have been let go within the last year to sign a petition with me: http://www.labor.ny.gov/workforcenypartners/taaforms/taa-petition.pdf It does nothing against the employer; in fact, they usually support the act. There need to be at least 3 workers to sign before it can be submitted. I hope every MT who has lost their jobs has applied for this... MQ is on their list already, as is United HealthGroup (only not for MT). Plea ...

Got a call today from the Dept of Labor and the nice lady said I was entitled to educational benefits of $27,000.00 and/or if I got a job for, let's say, $10.00 an hour "they" would pay me $5 more because of something to do with MModal and NA Free Trade; that MModal was "adversely effected" (her words) because of outsourcing----that Americans are now missing out on jobs, etc., ect.....Really didn't know what to make of all what she was saying, but I told her to send me the paperwork. S ...

New petition # is 85182. It is currently awaiting a decision. Our previous petition expired the end of March. Hopefully the new petition will be approved. ...

I spoke to a representative of the Trade Act in person today to ask some questions. I learned this and want to share it to help empower those who feel hopeless this season: -All states are participating in the Trade Act. -There was an old version of the Trade Act which necessitated that you be laid off by your company to benefit with the Trade Act. The new version (ending with #7, not #6) starting in February 2009 allows those still working to enroll in the program. -Medquis ...

this is great news for Mt Laurel New Jersey. Are there any other offices who have done this? they actually qualified and that means they have set a precedence. Everyone who is struggling with Medical Transcription right now either losing their jobs or (sounds like) had their hours cut should check into this... From the website: TAA Decision 72153 Note: Determinations for this case number, this case number with an alphabetic suffix, and any appeals or amendments ...

I tried looking it up in search mode and cannot find it, yet I know I saw it posted here not too long ago. Thanks! ...

S/l doctor is dictating Ar mot ta balloon...my brain is fried. Any ideas? ...

Medquist has been certified under the TAA, or Trade Act, Program. This means that former Medquist employees who lost their jobs can get funds to go to school as well as help paying for their COBRA premiums. They need to go to their local Workforce center to apply.

I decided to look into the benefits of the Trade Act which apparently includes only some states but which MQ has been qualified for. I'm not yet unemployed but need to at least feel prepared. I live in California so was given the name and number of the person in charge in my part of the state. I also picked the brains of the One-Stop personnel about career changes. They are a WEALTH of information, including 2 excellent websites: www.edd.ca.gov www.onlin ...

I just found out about this government program. From what I understand, it helps those who have lost all or part of their hours/income due to outsourcing of their profession, especially us older workers who need to retrain in order to reenter the workforce in another field. It looks to me like Medical Transcriptionists should fit their description, and we should be eligible for some funding to get some training! The catch is, in order to file, you have to have at least 3 pe ...
