ohio

Hi,

 I am just curious as I don't see many people from Ohio. Whereabouts are you? I am in Cleveland.  Do you have a lot of accounts? I keep pretty busy and mine are pretty diversified with one ESL which took me about two months to finally understand.  I was lucky they kept me along. 

Just wanted to say Hi to a fellow Buckeye!

If there is any chance that you can transfer and get out of the xxx hole that they call Amherst MQ, go to the Ohio office, plenty of work and you are treated with respect--stay away from Foxboro and Amherst--nothing but misery

I can not say enough about the people at the Ohio MQ office--they are the best

check laws, they apparently allow for the greater of $200 or 3x the check's face amount in liquidation fees.  I'm thinking though, that with the amount of these checks, you are outside the small claims situation.  You would then go to the next level in the court.  Maybe you can call the Ohio Court in the county/town she lives in and ask what one might do in this situation?  Maybe you can even check with your own state's court and see what their recommendation is.  I think the amount of the checks is going to be key here.  Fraud? Criminal?  This is a LOT of money here. 

I think your willingness to keep on working and not push the matter has also played a piece in her obvious oblivion to this?  Might be work $100 to have a lawyer write her a strongly worded letter - might just get her attention?

I just saw ****of Cleveland Plain Dealer (newspaper) on C-SPAN.  She is a journalist who cares about people losing their jobs in the state of Ohio.  After hearing her on C-SPAN, I believe if MTs from Ohio would contact her about all of our issues regarding offshoring of our jobs, unfair pay for VR, our personal information going overseas, etc., she just might be the person to take up the issue.  She fights for the working man/woman.  She is a wonderful person.  She even said she would be glad to hear from people by telephone.  I think if enough MTs from Ohio contact her, she might help us all.  Her phone number at the Cleveland Plain Dealer is ****.  I couldn't verify email address from the web site but did find www.cleveland.com/schultz/ (I haven't tried this yet).  She is also a Pulitzer Prize Winner for her excellence in journalism.  I'll be contacting her.  I hope others do as well.

****Phone numbers are not to be posted nor other private information.****

I am currently taking a MT course through PCDI.  I should be done by December 2005.  Does anyone know how of any jobs in southeast Ohio?  I heard PCDI is a big joke.  Is this true?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Worked there a few years back, think her name was Joanna, who did the training/hiring.  But I've heard of late (since they consolidated all Ohio offices) that there's a lot of new people.  Phone number is 888-899-5470.  HTH

I should've explained the reason for my question in the first place.  I live in rural Ohio, really rural, and besides dial-up, which, by the way, worked okay until the cold weather hit, a little slow, but okay, and a lot less expensive than DWay.  The only option I had, that I could find anyway, was Direcway.  Have any other Ohio MTs found anything else out there that works?  I'm in northeastern Ohio, about an hour from Pittsburgh, PA.
