Translators and InterpretersTranslators and Interpreters perform a critically important service for the Victorian community. But since the late 1980s when many of the services were outsourced, Translators and Interpreters have experienced a reduction in their pay and conditions in real terms. APESMA has met with Translators and Interpreters in Melbourne to talk about recognition of the work they perform and the need for unification to achieve it. APESMA looks forward to playing an active role in identifying and responding to the challenges of the industry - challenges that can only be tackled with the shared cooperation and commitment of major stakeholder groups and Translators and Interpreters themselves. This is the only way to ensure your status as professionals is recognised and that we can create a sustainable industry. The level of commitment from the Translating and Interpreting community will make or break whether we can really make a difference. Make no mistake - we will need a powerful voice to argue for the changes needed. Get involved in the campaign! Read Chris Walton's 2012 message here ...
