Actually, the CHALLENGE is = sm

paying bills, feeding kids, etc.  The REAL challenge seems to be making at least MINIMUM WAGE ($7.35 at present) from the getgo - and which must be paid REGARDLESS, as per all 50 Labor Boards - not when/if we ever get up to speed. They're the ones who shoved VR down our throats at 50% of previous ... with the result of a 50% increase in their own greedy pockets. 

But, they can't just continually take, take, take - the gravy train WILL dry up as soon as MTs stand up for their own rights, which is povided them by law. 

Good news for MTs on EMPLOYEE status - You were hired as an MT at a certain rate of compensation (although a substandard/insulting rate at that) - but company tells you MUST do VR editing at less than half pay.  WELL, UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROVIDES AT LEAST HALF OF YOUR SALARY, AVERAGE OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS - which you're entitled to receive at least for 6 months or 9 months if the recession lasts.  Which sounds better?  Contrary to opinion - verified by Labor Board on a visit a short while ago - you do not have to be laid off to apply/collect.  IF YOU QUIT YOUR JOB DUE TO A SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN PAY OR HOURS (and most would agree 3-4 cpl as opposed to 8, 8.5 or 9 cpl you were hired for and have a right to expect -- would CERTAINLY fall under this category.  There is more than 1 way to skin a rat -- start by hitting them where it hurts most (in the $$$) - pay up or get off the pottie.  Must make it clear to the callous, greedy MTSOs that we're not leaving emptyhanded, either!
