Information for Scribbles

Hi Scribbles,

I wanted to share some information with you.  After reading some of the posts from yourself and others about unions, I decided to do some research and contact someone.  I really don't have an opinion either way as far as unions are concerned, but I do think if someone believes really strongly about something, then they should do everything in their power to make a stand.  It would be nice if there were a wage scale for MTs as there is for other healthcare professionals.  Below you will find the response which I received today. 

Good luck and take care.

 Actually, yes, there are Unions for office/healthcare workers such as yourself! Please contact Labor Organizations such as the Office and Professional Employees International Union, www.OPEIU.org, as well as the Service Employees International Union, www. SEIU.org (HealthCare Division: http://www.seiuhealthcare.org), and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, www.AFSCME.org,(HealthCare Division: http://afscme.org/workers/513.cfm). Thank you for the opportuntity to address your question. If we may be of further assistance in regards to this, or another issue, please contact us again. Fraternally, Dustin OrganizingAdvocate Unions.org

If you really want to know how to form a union, check out the link below for the AFL/CIO.  You'll need to pick a union with which to affiliate.  They have a list with contacts.  They also have state/local federations of labor with contacts.  You'll also need a professional union organizer to help you.  There's a form you can fill out to get in touch with one.    

SEIU split from the AFL/CIO and is a healthcare union.  Find a web page for a local in your area, and they can give you the same information as above. 

These are the people who can really answer your questions and help you.  I'm betting, though, that you just want stay on these boards to stir the pot and whine. 

the idea of a union for us a reality.  Greedy and unethical service owners/senior management have really turned this profession to the dogs over the last 20+ years or so, and if we don't finally say enough and start speaking up for ourselves it's only going to get worse.  (I also have to make an aside and say to the MTSO's out there who actually UNDERSTAND this profession, have EXPERIENCE in it, and are SENSITIVE to the needs and challenges that MT's face, thank you so much for your integrity.  We appreciate you.)

I'll be following the board closely to read of your updates, Scribbles. 

Anyone with information on this company? 

You were very kind to respond.

I am not the original person who answered your post, but I also work for Amphion.  When you are first hired with them, they will basically ask you what hours you plan on working.  They are hours of your choosing, but they just ask that you try to stay working that schedule, so that they can provide adequate coverage on their accounts.  They are, however, very accommodating should you need to change your schedule.  They hire both part-time and full-time employee status.  Very nice folks to work for!  Good luck to you. 

but by the time you wade through all the hateful remarks, it just makes you sick!  I am very glad for the time spent on getting rid of some of the junk around here. 

3 p - 11p + $2/h

11p - 7 a + $3/h

This is in addition to your line rate.

RezZiliant, An MScript Inc. Company in Waterbury, Connecticut?  I just saw a posting on another board for this company.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you

that I needed.  Thanks so much!  We have brought my grandmother home from the hospital/nursing home, and I am wanting to get a laptop and go from my house to hers, (next door), so I can sit with her during the day. 

Thank you all so much!
