MTs: What, if anything, can be done?

Hi everybody! Well, upon completing my 2005 return, I made $13,000 less at my full time job than I have for the past 3 years. So, I have been scrambling around typing this and typing that for various doctors, filling in for MTs who are sick, and typing for a national. I currently work full time for a local hospital that is part of a health system. Things used to be so good, and now it seems like every other month or so, they are finding a way to squeeze every penny possible. They have even resorted to labor "loopholes" where they can force you to work mandatory overtime at less than your actual overtime pay. It's like the harder we work, the more they take away. I'm curious to know, how many other MTs are experiencing this or have experienced this. Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions? Are they trying to make us all so mad that we just quit? I might add, the transcription dpt is comprised of some very good MTs, most who have been with the hospital at least 6 years, some 10-20 years. If anyone has been in similar situations, do you have comments to offer?
