The overwhelming and pervasive problem is that payments have not been made for jobs done, some from as far back as April 2021. This is a legal matter, not just sloppy work.

“I am proud and thankful for the support Interpreters United has provided though these difficult times. The COVID-19 pandemic changed our safety net. Interpreters United has done great providing resources and valuable information to our interpreter community.”
