I too am very disgusted with this whole concept!!  Basically, if us US MTs do not get together and do something then we too are allowing it to go on.  It would be nice if our AAMT could get on the bandwagon and start advocating for the US MTs, instead of making company's that do this the Employer of the year!!  I am not a member of the AAMT and will not be one as I feel they support these companies.  It is a shame we do not have an organization that does something for US MTs.  I think the future of medical transcription has a very grim future right now.  This has to be turned around, and we have to figure out a way to make companies like Spheris pay for what they are doing to the industry and to us.  Hey Spheris MT's A STRIKE would sure make this company think twice about underpaying all their MTs.  Quit working for a few days and let them start paying penalties for late work.  Maybe it will make them think about the way they treat their employees.  I know it is hard for some to afford to do this, it would be for me.  But the benefits you may get in the long run would give a return worth while!!  Worried about loosing your job, well, sounds like layoff is coming soon anyway!!  Organize something for yourselves to protect your future for the good of all MTs.  All MTs should seriously think about this.  We just cannot let this go on...We all have to demand better wages!!
