Country-wide strike in India today

Since it's official "D-Day," was just wondering if anyone was actually calling off today. If you're off today, hope you're having fun and making the most of it! ...

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/29/fast-food-workers-plan-one-day-strike-for-monday/?test=latestnews The Washington Post reports that the protests will take place in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Flint, Mich., involving workers at McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and KFC. Some employees at stores including Dollar Tree, Macy's and Victoria's Secret are also expected to join the protesters in several cities. "A lot of ...

Okay, many months ago my area lost an account overseas because, according to the CCM, there were way too many blanks and the client was not happy. (Why they would think going overseas would make the work better, I don't know). Not too long ago, that account has come back to US soil saying that there were still getting too many blanks. Once again, they are complaining of too many blanks from the US MTs. I'm thinking that maybe the blank problem has nothing to do wit ...

Everybody leave Medquist....go get other work -- working at McDonald's pays more and has better benefits - at least you get to eat. And see how well India does all the transcription -- they can't do it -- we do the hard work and they get the cream. We are sitting her dying with their bad machines and bad dictators. Let them have it -- they will corode. ...

Does anyone know of stateside MTSOs who hire MTs outside of the country. After 30 plus years will be retiring outside of USA and would like to continue to work. ...

I was wondering if there are any hospitals that are hiring full-time transcriptionists for in-house transcriptionists -- not MTSO companies -- but actual hospitals or clinics. I might be willing to relocate. ...

Don't think today was that big? When was the last time this happened? This is remarkable, and it is the beginning because it has to be. International business has institutionalized exploitation and ruthless profiteering to the point that there has to be change. Notice that other countries are no longer willing to be where companies go to pay pennies instead of dollars? This is good! This is something BIG building. Look for quiet ways to take a stand now and plan to find a way to build our ...

Hi All, Because of family "emergency" I may have to go overseas for a few weeks. I'd like to keep working because I don't have any leave available right now. I'm wondering if any of you out there have ever brought your laptop and worked from a foreign country. If so, were there any technical issues? I know some websites have their access blocked from certain parts of the world and I'm wondering if DocQScribe and DocQManage have any issues like that. ...

supervisor at a company I've been with for years, the others having disappeared with a wave of the corporate wand at various times. I haven't told her I'm leaving yet and am a little afraid of the reaction; she's good at her job but can be...volatile. So, if anyone could help me, please e-mail, and I'd be happy to reciprocate. ...

Hello Everyone: I am looking for any insight on this company. I am strongly leaning towards it, but I don't know anyone who has had experience with the company. Thanks! ...

Does anyone know anything about a company called World Wide Dictation? Thanks in advance ...

Looking for info on these two companies...anyone working there currently, good, bad, anything? ...

Are many companies installing Dragon for all their MTs to use, or are most using back-end VR where the MTs simply edit? Inscribe is going 100% Dragon. Is that an industry trend? ...

Nice people, but the two things I mentioned above unfortunately cancel those out. Plus 3 cpl is RIDICULOUS!! ...

Since they changed the email system, we only have access to email addresses we save. ...

I got a message asking me to contact them at a specific time about a job. Usually I am asked when I am available to talk about a job with someone. ...

After 20 plus years in this field and now having to work 15 hour days to make a decent day's pay, I do not know about you, but I am fed up. There is not a company out there that does in fact "value" our services. If we can get 8/line we consider ourselves lucky. I have seen the rates go down and believe that is due to the fact most companies outsource to other countries - whether they admit it or not - and was in fact told by a recent recruiter not to expect more than 8 ce ...

Go back to school - the economy is so rough on experienced MTs and we all need to band together and strike for three days just like people do with the gas prices. Let them see how really important we are instead of paying us wages like a beginner transcriptionist. ...

I have been on 100% QA for 3 MONTHS now. Been working slower, taking my lumps, reading each (of my 300) client profiles, "thanking" my CCM and QA for their feedback, no no avail. I can't live with this pay MQ gives. I cannot make a decent check at 4cpl on 100% ASR. I talked to my CCM, but really??? "There's nothing I can do until you're off QA, I understand how hard it is, I don't think it's right either..." This cannot be LEG ...

Really I am just being silly, but think about it! What if we all just quit typing for one day? What if the day we just don't type falls on an Indian Holiday? HeHeHe then they would be screwed! That's how I feel right now with the short changing I keep getting. I am on a 95% ASR account with the world's worst dictators. Oh well, just a thought. I just thought I would share this after going over my line count and what I made today so far. *e ...

You need to wake up the industry. You all need to strike. Need to pick a few days to not work at the same time. You all need to call in sick. You say you need your job?? I guarentee you this company is LAYING OFF MTs EVERYDAY! There are some days which are in the hundred range. You need to stand up and do something or you will soon GET THE CALL stating you are such a good employee, but...... we unfortunately have to let you go. At least you ...

We should all go on strike until they fix this pay plan or give us our old pay and leave it alone. Thousands of MLS on strike would have an impact. Even hundreds might. It's the only way to get heard or our point across. We are the "bottom feeders" but we are the ones doing all the hard work, have the schooling for it and produce in order for the higher guys to get their lovely bonuses and big checks. We make them money. We are the company basically. If so many are outraged then we need to ...

Has anyone else been asked by WWD to provide a business card? And specifically state on their bus. card "independent contractor"? What's up with that? Anyone hear if they are in trouble or being investigated? Hear anything about them going out of biz? ...

The company I work for just increased our production requirements from 220 to 240 LPH for ASR and for straight transcription from 150 to 160 LPH. They gave their reason as industry-wide production requirement increases. Anyone else out there have the same problem. ...
