The American MT Boycott List

I think I've made it pretty clear where I stand on the outsourcing American jobs overseas. I have been keeping a list of medical transcription services who offshore work. This list is a work in progress and I will continue to add to it whenever I come across another service that offshores.

Here is my list so far. If you would like to add to the list, please do so by emailing me or posting a comment.

Transcription Matchmaker (Technically not a transcription service, but advocates outsourcing overseas by placing MTs with services that do offshore, so they make the list!)

It's time we made it very clear that American jobs should stay in America. Not only does this issue affect American medical transcriptionists, but it affects the foreign transcriptionists who work for slave wages. These companies are sweat shops. Remember all the hoopla not too long ago about Wal-Mart and other major discount chains selling clothes that were made in sweat shops in Mexico, India, Asia, etc.? This is the same thing! Doctor's offices, hospitals, and clinics are unknowingly paying for reports that were transcribed in a sweat shop in India or the Phillipines. Let's make them aware. Healthcare facilities should only outsource to and medical transcriptionists should only accept positions with American-owned, American-based, and American-employee only services!
