Which brings another good question where do relay companies get operators that type for those that use the text relay?
I'm sure many of them don't have sign language interpreters in-house. They probably contract them via interpreter agencies.
If so, what agencies are they?
If not, then how does it work?
If that's the case, then hope for the best. And hope they do benefit from their new or 2nd career.Outta the prison system... True story.
They pay so small for TRS operators... Convicted people usually wind up working for TRS after they get out
The bigger companies are in-house. Not many of them have agencies.
This cuts down on the overhead. Sorenson has around 80+ or so locations with 4000ish or so employees to give you an idea.
I personally know of many interpreters here in the Mpls area who gave up freelancing to work for Sorenson. They said the money was so good they couldn't pass up that kind of an opp. Others have said it's why we have such a shortage of freelancers here now. I have a difficult time myself getting a freelance interpreter when I need one without a ton of work looking for one.
Interesting observation -a pool of interpreters in prison. Never dull in prison-to say the least.
