Raised with a large family of deaf members. I have experienced some of the worst service anyone could tolerate. Even though it's considered as a non-profit organization, the main factor that comes before all things, is money. Yes it's greed, it's effects us all, including those who have fallen in the game called the "rat race". Once money is made the concept becomes a business factor.
I've experienced it, each and everyone of my family members has experienced it. It plays an important role, among the deaf community. Non-profit organizations, that we depend on, to build our communication barriers across the hearing world. And, there is no system, that controls the consumers right to better business, those who expect the best from their service. Not even a code, nor a national organization, has the power to control it.
Interpreter referral services, a business that contains a number of interpreters under contract. Once the number of interpreters shrinks, they'll break the code of ethics. The code only effects those who are registered members of RID not those who meet the standards of their state requirements. I don't blame the individual who has accepted the job request. I blame the non-profit org. who knew that the individual was not qualified for the job. The propose of the org. was to fill a job request, to increase their profit.
Again as a consumer, there is not a place or a code who controls non-profit interpreter referral services. Who was cheated? we are, each and every individual of the deaf community.

Welcome
Welcome to Da (sound as, The) Virus's Blog page, which is currently under construction. I'm sure my readers are curious why I called it "the virus infect", as you all know, a virus only claims life depending on the type of host cells. My blogs are to infect the minds of a human being, will one accept the knowledge or battle against it.
About Me
- What about me?
- well um, I was raised by a large deaf family. Who has taught me how to stand for my rights as a deaf individual. Even though I am HH, I face challenging discriminatory issues on my daily basis. We are to work twice the effort to accomplish a dream. "life's a challenge, not a game"

It's endemic in the UK too, and why I blogged it. Non-profit making means you are limited in criticising it mainly, e.g. charities, who needs 'em ? We ARE a meal ticket, the rise of some deaf rights and the fact sign language and culture have become an 'academic' issue, means there's money to be now made, in teaching sign and raising awareness of the cultural aspect, but the deaf are NOT Getting any real look in to it, hearing have taken over, thanks, we'll take it from here.....
Well said!
I also do notice the trend of breaking the business ethics in among of the interpreter agencies elsewhere.
What we can do... choose the provider/agency who uphold good ethics! Promote their business and things will turn out better in the future.
Good blog!
