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! 

Stop getting bent out of shape because everyone does not agree with YOU .
