R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!

As transcriptionists we are treated like second class citizens.  Most companies just want to MAKE Money and quite frankly don't give a hoot how they do it.  I think we need a union of some sort.  AHDI does nothing to improve our standings - they just want more and more money for doing ZIP.  Unfortunately, for all of us seasoned transcriptionists there are a lot of newbies to take our place who think what is done to them in the name of business is fair.  We need to know more than most RNS, LPNS and I dare say doctors - as they are all focused on one specialty and we make less than everyone!    Any ideas on organizing a union?
