Posted: Sep 21, 2013
Anyone else get an email from Kevin Dooley and associates re: Transcend lawsuit? It's so hard to remember dates and everything from his questionaire sent.

downloading a Microsoft service pack! which I am reluctant to do since I do not want to change anything that might cause me to change the computer requirements for Escription. Dang it,

had trouble before with downloading service packs from Microsoft, I'm not going that route. I did contact the highlighted email address in the middle of the letter and told them I could not open it. Don't know if that helps you any.
I heard back from the attorney's office and they - bunion

sent me a file that could be opened. So, just notify them if you cannot open the file. I have not filled it out yet but will. Some of the phrases that they use in it are hauntingly familiar of my old ROM who used. I thought I had repressed those ugly memories but they came right back.

I copied the questionnaire and put it into Word and then I could respond to all the questions. Otherwise, it's a read file and won't let you respond.

but I got jammed pretty hard by MQ back in the day on line counts. I hope you sue Nuance's socks off--and WIN!

In the end they offered me $100 in training materials.
You know what I told them? "I came to the job trained I don't need any training materials. You stole cash out of my paycheck with your shifty line counting, how about you send me cash?"
What a joke that was. But MQ made millions from that little shell game.

How about you suggest to Kevin D's office that they resend the questionnaire in PDF format?

Here is the link for the PDF file. I received a couple of emails and tried sending the file but it failed. If you emailed me requesting the file and did not receive it, you may want to try the link for Drop Box.

Well you must have wanted to be in the class action and indicated to the law firm, otherwise why would they bother sending it to you?
Fighting Nuance would be just the same as the current Transcend Lawsuit. For those who are not involved, the latest news did not look good. They are trying to get it thrown out on the basis that because we are independent contractors kind of, the situations vary greatly and we should not be allowed to file as one unit. The attorneys for Transcend feel each MLS should file separately. Well, since we make slave wages, who the hell could ever afford an attorney? So, they have found every way p ...
Take a look -- this is regarding issues that most of us deal with on a daily basis. Very interesting.

Does anyone have any idea how the above lawsuit is progressing. I received an e-mail a few months ago, informing us Transcend had not compiled all the necessary discovery and they had a second hearing late last year. Maybe one of the original 13 or so plaintiffs has some information ?
Thanking you in advance.

I received an e-mail today basically saying the attorneys will not conduct a collective action lawsuit but that we are all free to file suit on our own. What a waste of time and what a joke. I figured this would be the case. So, once again, the big corporation wins and the cheated employeees lose. ...
Anyone who works for Transcend now or in the last three years needs to check this out. This is the real deal. For all of us who haven't made minimum wage or were refused overtime pay, you may be able to get in on this. ...
I haven't been to the boards for quite a while, but I was just googling to find out a current phone number for Transcend to put on a resume, and I saw about the lawsuit.
What's going on with this? Does anyone know? ...
Well, it's done folks! A couple of VERY brave ladies have filed a class action suit for make up to minimum and OT issues against Transcend. If anyone is interested in getting their own going against some other MTSO's, well, it's time to be heard. We're not going to take it anymore! If you would like info on the attorneys who filed this suit, please feel free to email me. A very proud day indeed! ...
I don't want to be negative but do you really think anything will change? MQ got sued and that didn't exactly improve anything. I think we got a discount on a medical reference book and a time clock. I'd like to hear opinions on this. ...
If you don't wish to hear anything further about the lawsuit, please stop reading now.
For those of you still here, it is my understanding that Nuance has used the same tactics as Transcend -- asking you to alter your time cards, reviewing your QA on your own time, "hands-only on the keyboard," etc.
If this is the case, PLEASE contact the attorneys that are assisting the 'Grand 13.' You have a case as well and do NOT let this opportunity pass by to make your statement loud ...
I sold my company to imedx and have not been paid what I was promised. I hired a lawyer and have been told that it would cost too much to sue. Is anyone else in the same position? Perhaps we could join together and share the legal expense. ...
I was never this depressed when I worked for Transcend. Now, with the hounding e-mail, do this, don't do that, rule change, etc. Oh, and I better not forget about Webclock, Fiesa, etc. They have it all planned out to cover their ass. Now I feel like at least Transcend gave a damn once in a while, unlike Nuance. Every weekly change I see benefits Nuance, not the employee. Sorry, I just had to vent. The last few weeks have been nothing but stressed ou ...
If you have come here for years as I have you would know about the poster who got sued by a company for what she posted here about the company. I do not remember the name of the company nor the poster's name but I do remember reading the postings and I thought OMG myself. The companies do come here and read these postings. If you post something that is not true they might be like the other company, able to figure out who you are by what is posted or some way. I am saying, I know this to hav ...
I need advice, please, from someone. There have been many miscommunicaitons with a MTSO and none have been in my favor. I do have documentation of everything that happened. I have a close relative who is an attorney who has reviewed this infromation. He advised that, hands down, I do have a lawsuit and could certainly file a claim against this company. I am hesitant to do this.&nb ...
Gee, I wonder if our pay is already being affected AGAIN or going too soon by the company figuring out how re-do our pay. Be careful, we might get another survey.

Wondering how/if all of us who work for MModal can start a class action lawsuit against them? What for you ask?
