Northern California court interpreters reach deal with raises

Source: NIAN
Story flagged by: Maria Kopnitsky

Interpreters in the greater San Francisco Bay Area reached an agreement with the courts that calls for raises and the ability to bargain over the impact of Video Remote Interpreting.

The tentative agreement between the courts in Region 2 and the California Federation of Interpreters comes after interpreters conducted mobilizing events throughout Northern California, including picketing, leafletting and outreach to attorneys, presiding judges and community organizations.

Court interpreters in California bargain regionally. CFI’s Region 2, which extends from the greater Bay Area up to the Oregon border, bargains with Superior Courts in 15 counties at a time. More.

Video interpreting is a total nonsense -- it may cost people wrongful sentences or even lives. The accuracy is just very low, compared to live onsite interpreters -- provided they are not fakes.
