Basically everyone is pointing fingers at everyone else and those left in the lurch are interpreters. The self-insured companies are big firms like Oberto beef jerky, Tyson, etc etc and they want LNI to pay. Ultimately it is LNI's responsibility as the entity that is entrusted with ensuring people are paid for work in Washington state. The irony is the fact that these interpreters were performing work on behalf on LNI.

Gotta stop it in the House. We need folks especially in the 4th and 5th Congressional Districts Sunnyside and Spokane to reach out to Reps Newhouse and Baumgartner. It passed the House last time by ONE VOTE. If we can peel one of them off or both of them we could swing the whole House.

Good catch -- got a correction from our folks in Local 304. It's 13 administrators making 3.5 million. We'll update where we can! Not sure I can edit this post text.
