Transcribers Return

Transcribers are back on the job at Central Washington University after five of them walked off in a dispute over how long they had to work without breaks. The transcribers wanted two people to cover each 50-minute class but the school said the budget would not allow it. Two claims of physical problems from repetitive motion injuries have been filed recently. Transcribers attend class with deaf and hard of hearing students and type the instructors’ lectures into a computer.
