utopia? Jul 13, 2010

Perhaps the most effective way to sort this out would be to convince more and more translators to refuse working for so little, at least not anything below minimum wage.
Remind them that their services are the core of the business, so they need us more than we need them. Any agency willing to work with anyone just for rates is not going to last long.
