We can do even more... we have to join
To all my fellow MDI'ers, I think it is time to tighten up the bootstraps and starting thinking out of the box. Let's get together in private, put our thinking caps on, combine resources, and see what we can do for ourselves and each other. Every email will be confidential... we still have our integrity! Write to AmericanMT@yahoo.com
Are the people who join
and currently work for them kept confidential??
Can I come join you in La La Land?
Your dreamin.
Hey can i still join the survey? nm

There is a Union for MTs to join
MTs have been able to join the National Writers Union http://www.nwu.org/nwu/ for several years, though very few have done so. Perhaps if more of us joined we might get somewhere. Worth a try anyhow, don't you think? We certainly don't have much more to lose.
how do you join it? When I clicked sm
on join, it just came up a message that this was private or something like that. What process do you go through to join this group?
join forces
Hi, I'm a fellow MDIer and am interested in hearing from others who are interested in a private group. I am kicking around the idea of trying to start a Co-op of something of the sort, I'm looking for resources and ideas from others who might be interested in starting our own company... not me personally, but as a group creating our own company. Surely it can be done! Americanmt@yahoo.com, spread the word and I hope to hear from you!
OK, on the home page i am looking at, there is NO Join Us.
I'm dead serious. There is NOTHING on the site I am looking at for Join us or send a picture. www.synthescribeofamerica.com 
So you will tell a person to join, knowing they won't

You could try to find out if account gone and then try to join

how_do_i_file_a_petition_to_start_or_remove_a_union.aspx
Its all one link, but I had to split it to get it to show up. Sorry about that.
If IC's can't join EXISTING unions, then maybe
it's time for MTs to form a union that DOES include IC's, especially since they are a large part of this industry. They deserve better wages, too.
I will join you at the bottom, no jobs for me either..nm

I'm not exactly sure - feedback from those who would join an MDI forum?
I don't know that I can answer that directly. I know I would be interested in participating and (maybe) even trying to set it up... I was just trying to encourage all of us to come up with something, as I thought the original poster had a great idea. Your idea sounds like one that would work.
So the poster who got the thread started seem to want to be able to talk privately without any mgmt of MDI being able to see. But, even with a Yahoo group and using anonymous emails, really there is no way to monitor who is who. I'm not sure I would want to be the one excluding anyone anyway. The bottom line, it seems to me, that even with the most private of groups such as this, what we share still may make it out of the privacy of that group, and all would just have to be aware.
Feedback from others who would join - What kind of group would be ideal? Would you feel any more safe to share in the kind of group mentioned above?
join forces, anyone game?

MDI'ers we need to join forces
I am brand new to MTStars and can't seem to figure things out. I am floating the idea of maybe we join forces, perhaps try to form a Co-op, and maybe if we combine we could start our own company. Maybe a pipedream, but I believe it can be done. We all have resources, we all have brains, and we have been told we are the best in the business. Please help me spread the word, please contact me privately, and let's figure out a way that we can get off of MTstars, start communicating privately so that we can actually be productive. We do have options but time to do away with the anger and starting thinking out of the box. Will you guys please help me?
Time to join forces
I am a fellow MDIer. I am trying to refocus what little energy I have left in getting us organized, getting us together so that we can collectively put on our thinking caps and try to figure out our next step. I am thinking that if we can contact enough people, combine our brains and resources, maybe we will be able to do some constructive, like maybe start our own company/CO-OP. Please contact me T my private and confidential email address which I have set up exclusively for this reason. Thanks! AmericanMT@yahoo.com
I'm so glad you decided to join us, Jeannal! Welcome to Diskriter!
Glad you're having as good an experience as I've had.
Join the club, I quit a few weeks ago. Good luck...nm

Since it's a private group on Facebook, you have to click on "request to join group" sm
It takes about a day to be added after the request is put in.
All-Write
I am looking for some information on this company. Are they flexible? Plenty of work? Do they require a certain amount of lines per day for full time or part time? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
I write down all the
jobs I do. I am an IC and have to submit an invoice each pay period, so I always compare what they have with what I have to be sure it is correct!
write me
I sent you an E-mail, but in case you don't get it, will post on here as well. I left the Q three years ago and now work for a company I really like. They are small. I've recommended them to people in the past and even though I tell them up front what it pays, some think they are the exception. It pays 7 cents and goes to 8 cents after QA...and stays there, but if you're really interested, let me know. The platform is Emdat/InScribe. Very easy once you learn it. Very frustrating until you do :)
Pleeze don't write another one Flo
OMG that is the most stupid thing I have ever seen next to the first one of course!!
Why would you ask here? Write the recruiter and ask her.

All-Write Transcription
I was wondering what you could tell me about All-Write Transcription. Does anyone here work for them? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Sonya
Anybody know anything about or work for Med-Write?...
Looking for any information. Thanks.
All-Write Transcription...anyone?...
Good, bad or ugly? Anyone with any experience with them?
Thanks!
please don't write in all caps

Write One Transcription
Hello all! Writing to ask about a company called Write Now Transcription...anyone works/worked for them, etc? Heard from them today. 
Yes and another reason I write
them down is sometimes, they will email me for missing work and I can go back and see when I sent it back to them and get it straightened out. If I had not written it down, I could still find it in the logs on the computer, but it is much easier to just loko at that date on my paper.
This could be your own opportunity to write your

Yikes .. right, not write. nm
Interesting. What exactly is it you write?

Have you ever heard of tax write off? sm
Either give it to the government or let employees enjoy it as a write off. More companies should do this sort of thing for bonuses, MT week, Christmas, etc.
If you don't like it, move on and build your own company. When the up and ups in a company does is not really anyone's business but the business owners.
Did you write that post?
Care to share some specifics? I see posts in the archives calling her mean and then your post calling her trash, which is not enough to go on to make a decision. Just sounds to me like disgruntled MTs. Care to share your experience? What was it she did that was so awful?
Yes, but who takes the time to write
Gheesh...so ridiculous
Why didn't you just write down "Not enough." nm
:}
Definitely can be an employee and write these things off.
Turbo Tax walks you through and also your tax advisor can assist you.
To write your senator/congressman
I just put in the name of my senators and I got directed to a home page and I could then E-mail him direct. Which I did telling him that if all of our jobs go overseas then no one would be working to pay his salary. They need to start taxing these companies that do this as they are missing out on a lot of FICA and fed taxes, etc. Don't know if it will do any good but I put in my two cents worth for all of you losing your jobs. Also wonder if the price is going DOWN to the clients, that would be interesting to know.
Good luck to all of you.
Do you want to be one? Write to the recruiters who posted
and maybe they will tell you. That kind of information could cost them their job if posted on a public board. Leave them alone.
Correct - I don't want to write a book.
If you want more information, please email me. I can only say what I experienced.
I think what Transcend does is write you a letter
telling you that because you did not make incentive you are considered part-time and no longer eligible for benefits. This is what I have heard. But please talk to your supervisor because this may not be the case. Good luck. I know they are a stickler for making production no matter what the circumstances are.
I put my email at the top up there and no one cares enough to write. They just want to complain
and tell untruths about this company. Some are a good fit, others not, but the things that I am reading are definitely not true. I would not worry about constant complainers. These people would not fit in anywhere and I am not upper management either nor am I lower management.
I would write them an email if it has been a couple of days.
Never hurt to try.
This is tragic. I hope you also write to AAMT who
has supported outsourcing and anyone else in our industry. In the meantime, go to the Jobs Board of this site and email all companies who have advertised jobs on this site as well as other sites and put those feelers out.
ALSO, I HOPE that none of you buy into that computer at that whopping deal of $800. You realize of course that you can buy a brand new unused one for that much. Tell them to send overnight ship tags to you so that you can return their computer.
All involved in this traitor type of deal should hang their heads low and I hope they are the very last to find good old American jobs.
Good luck to all of you. There are lots of companies out here and many of us have the same fate no doubt in our future, but some of us work for companies who will fight that type of fate up until the very end.
Again, write some of those companies. I am seeing many on the Jobs Board of MT Stars who are advertising. Put in your Subject line that you are a soon to be out of work Heartlander so as to let them know that you are not just one average MT who looks everyday for a better company.
Hang in there. You will find a place in our workforce. We will be looking out for you. BTW, I will make it known to my company that this has happened and let our recruiters know to look out for the MTs and QA staff from Heartland. We try to take care of our own.
I would love to write a letter to the account I used to be on
and tell them that their work is being sent to Vietnam now. I know for a fact that they have already threatened to take the account away from SPI due to major issues with TAT. I'm sure if they knew about Vietnam that would be the last straw. Tempting.
The book contains suggestions. They don't write the rules
they merely published them in a format convenient for us to review - save your anger for the JAHCO and the American Medical Association.
LOL .. I'll bet you are write. UGH on the carbon paper ... sm
We typed in triplicate, so had to correct 3 documents each time I made a mistake. Forget the good old days in this case ... I am going to give my PC a big hug right now! 
I think you should write novels or short stories :-) nm
