When you ask, they swear they are not headed to India, but they went from 1 to 5 or 6 offices in different parts of India and they are downsizing in the US. 

The article stated:

The company, which provides a service that allows doctors to speak into a software system to have their medical notes transcribed in India, is probably heading toward some kind of restructuring, the source said.

Old news...try bankruptcy - sm

They've been in India for years. That's how they got banned from federal contracts.

HEADED to India? Where did you get that article? - 15 years in the past?

of course they have been using India office for a LONG TIME now and they fully admit it. They are focusing on their coding department right now. MT is their bread and butter for the moment, as soon as they build up enough coding accounts they will taper off on MT accounts.

seriously though, this is really old news. I'm surprised anyone found it newsworthy.

The date on the article was October 2013. - nm

Hey, I Read An Article Somewhere About Virtual Organizing For Union Purposes.

I read somewhere that the employees of Gawker, an on-line news medium, had organized and voted for a union.

I plan on doing a little more research on it. Wouldn't that frost Nuance's little cookies if we could do something like that?? ...
