Transcribers Quit

Five of seven Central Washington University transcribers have walked off the job. The Ellensburg school’s Disability Support Services is scrambling to provide services for the seven deaf and hard of hearing students. The transcribers are at odds with Student Affairs which wants cut costs by not letting them team up even when working more than three hours at a time. They are only getting about $13 an hour.
