Unionizing

I am looking into this to gather some more information.  There is no current union group with which to affiliate with for medical transcriptionists.

I will post more when I come across more information.  Anyone else is welcome to research as well, so we can quit complaining and whining and actually do something useful.

I also found from the NLRB that one cannot join a union if one is an independent contractor and I think a lot of MTs are.  A lot aren't as well, but those that are wouldn't be able to join a union.

That's all for now.. I just wanted to start this so people could post what they find and it might help us act instead of talk all the time.
