Bargaining is around the corner! This is a historic opportunity for us, health care interpreters, to negotiate for fair working conditions with the State of Oregon. Our work has gone unrecognized for far too long, this pandemic has brought even more challenges to our work and while many have left the industry, we also know that Covid-19 has disproportionately impacted the communities we serve. Many of us continue to do this work because we know how critical it is for the thousands of immigrants, refugees and hard-of-hearing patients. Throughout bargaining, we want to highlight our day-to-day life as interpreters and how our community is impacted.
Our stories are powerful and they can help us make the changes we need to make our work more sustainable!
