EVEN MORE CONFUSED Pompano Beach, FL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1253 May 18, 2008 because the two year contract was over and instead of all of california 911 calls being handled by one OPI company; each911 call center became independently managed and each can use the OPI Co. that they want. When I spoke to them, they already new the problems that interpreters were having with Omni.(back in the month of October of 2007) They have been aware of it for a while. Never the less each center ( city-county)operates individually now. Today some are using Language Line and some others are using other companies. Omni had a two year contract it ended April 20, 2008. As you can see they new about the problem but continued with OMNI until the contract expired. It must be very hard to proove who intereprets you call; today a days with phone technology you can have an 818 area code phone number and answer your calls while crossing "la cordillera de los Andes".:) which i hope you get to do!!! It is an amazing experience!!!!! saludos

IF YOU CHASE OMNI'S CLIENTS AWAY, THEY WILL NERVER BE ABLE TO PAY US. jUST GO THROUGH ALL LEGAL AVENUES TO TRY TO GET PAID. THAT IS ALWAYS THE BEST WAY. YOU ARE ACTING LIKE KIDS. AT THIS POINT, NOT LOOKING, SOUNDING, TO PROFETIONAL. GET SOMEONE TO REPREST YOU. IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER CALL OMNI, REQUEST TO GET PAID; SEND E-MAILS, BUT ALL THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME AND ALL THIS ENERGY SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON GETIING MORE WORK; SENDING RESUMES TO OTHER COMPANYS. IF ALLSTATE, KAISER GMAC, MIAMI 911, GLEADALE911, ADVISE NURSE, STOPS PAYING OMN,- "WE" WILL NEVER GET PAID!!!!- I AM SORRY, BECAUSE I AM, UNFORTUNATELLY, IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU ARE. THEY OWE ME LOTS OF MONEY; AND IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY. I AM ALSO ANGRY, AND UPSET AND CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN. IT IS BEYOND ANYBODYS IMAGINATION...NEVER THE LESS WE NEED TO BE SMART ABOUT THIS. AND WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT MIGUEL , THINKS, SAYS...!! IGNORE HIM...LETS TRY TO SHOW HIM, THAT IN THIS COUNTRY, WE ARE ALL PROFESSIONAL ADULTS. SEEK LEGAL HELP IT IS THE ONLY WAY ! WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT LEGAL ADVISE AND HELP ARE YOU MENTION ATTORNEYS? fORGET I JOIN THE CLASS LAWSUIT LAST OCTOBER AND NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK, AND BEING AFFRAID OF THE MEDIA HAS SPEED THEM UP TO PAY SINCE AT THE MOMENT I START CONTACT PEOPLE, NEWS ETC... AND EVERYTIME I EMAIL OR CALL SMONE I PASTE AND COPY OMNI, THEY START CONTACT ME TO PAY ME. SO YES IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED, SO TO THE ONES THAT WANT TO GET PAID ASAP DO CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE OMNI AS A BAD PAYEE BUT DON'T FORGET TO INFORM THEM ABOUT EVERY CONTACT YOU DO, THEY WILL PAY US FIRST THEM THOSE THAT ARE QUITELY WAITING

They will only pay us when it becomes unprofitable for them not to If you are so afraid of Omni losing business maybe you should work for them for free some more. I'm sure they will appreciate that I AGREE WITH YOU!

BUT I WOULD NOT SABOTAGE OMNI'S ONLY RESOURSE OF MONEY BY DOING ALL THIS. IF OMNI DOES NOT GET PAID, YOU, ME AND THE REST OF THE 100'S OF INTERPRETERS THAT ARE OWED MONEYS "WON'T GET PAID EITHER." SMART, WE HAVE TO BE SMART ABOUT THIS. NOT LET OUR ANGER, FRUSTRATION AND RAGE TAKE OVER US. SALUDOS YOU CALL THAT BEING SMART, OR COWARD? As I TOLD YOU BEFORE IF KEPP QUITE THEY WILL PAY YOU LAST!

I have a feeling that maria and I are the only ones contacting cnn and fox news and trying to figure out ways in getting everyone paid. I need for all of you to do the same. I CONTACTED CNN, FOX, 911, AND ISABEL AT MASSASSUCHETS MEDICAL INTERPRETERS ASSOC. AS I TOLD YOU AND ISABEL WAS GOINGTO CALL OMNI AND REQUEST TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR WEBSITE AS REFERENCE, SINCE SHE REPRESENTS THE INTERPRETERS INTEREST, HER PH NUM,BER IS ON THE FIRST PAGE OF OMNI WEBSITE ON THE RIGHT OF THE PAGE GO THERE AND CHECK MMIA. AND EVERYTIME I CONTACT SOMEONE I MAKE SURE THAT OMNI KNOWS ABOUT, SO THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WERE MAILING MY CHECK

HOW CAN YOU CALL SOMEONE CHILDREN GARBAG? HOW CAN YOU SAY, WE ARE NOT GETTING PAID DUE BEING BAD INTERPRETERS. WHY DON'T YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS? I AM TIRED OF HAVING YOU IN THIS FORUM, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE JUST STAY IN YOUR PERU OFFICE AND LET US DEAL WITH OUR PROBLEM. DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THEN PICK ON OTHER PEOPLE BUSINESS? GO DO SOME LAUNDRY, OR WASH SOME DISHES. GET OUT OF HERE. I AM GOING TO CALL OMNI IN PERU AND COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DIRTY MOUTH. SO STOP, AND MIND YOUR BUSINESS. FROM ALL INTERPRETERS
Maria Claremore, OK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1260 May 19, 2008 Cris, Los Angeles: ignore that piece of garbage Miguel, who cares what he thinks? he is a nothing! We don't care about nothings, everybody just ignore that piece of garbage and it will go away! Thanks for the loyalty though, I appreciate it.

Marco Lima, Peru	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1262 May 19, 2008 Interpreter from Fl, Miguel E. doesn’t work for network omni no more, he quit about 3/4 months ago. But I know his wife still works there. Now there’s a supervisor name Miguel Sierra currently working there. He is also a Kiss ass Just Like Miguel E.

It is an amazing experience!!!!! saludos Well, what really happened was Omni won the CA 911 contract again for 2008-09. Language Line had their attorneys file a motion to overturn the award of the contract with the State of California. Then Language Line attorneys contacted previous Omni 911 call center manager and they put together a document that was sent to State of CA and then the contract was taken away from them and now the individual 911 centers are now responsible for procuring own OPI services. Language Line and the previous Omni 911 manager made sure they lost CA 911 contracts. They treated the old 911 manager very badly when he discovered what they were doing to interpreters and how the phone system was not working and 911 calls were being lost and disconnected! He tried to make them change things and Manny M. fired him. Once again by not doing business the right way they treated people badly and lost millions of $$$ as a result.
Maria Claremore, OK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1264 May 19, 2008 What a mess!! It is really a sad thing! If you come to think of it, how many people have been victimized by Omni's behavior? Not only the interpreters, but well meaning personnel working in-house and customers and clients! It appears that this Manny M. is the main culprit. I'd like to have a conversation with him! It looks like he took advantage of the opportunity when Ulmer got sick, and perhaps too sick to be able to deal with any day-to-day business. Some people are like vultures! I'd still like to receive copies of corporate returns, please send them to my e-mail address.
Emil Plainfield, WI	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1265 May 19, 2008 I'm just thinking out loud: Is there anyone who has filed in small claims court in California who would be interested in filing a claim for some of the rest of us for a fixed price, say $50 per invoice? What would be the filing fees? Could the appearance be handled through this same person appearing and handing in an affidavit? If anyone is willing speak up.
intrepreterwithn ewname Los Angeles, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1266 May 19, 2008 I've just got back from Ventura County Court today. Maria knows about it. Due to abundance of MOLES on this forum I like to keep it confidential. I will keep you ALL posted with additional info. I also asked for filing on everyones behalf. I was told that each contractor has to file on their own behalf. Sorry, I tried. The legal advise also told me since we are not employee's the labor department can not do anything about it. But I was told that each of you need to contact an attorney (free legal advise is available, as well) in your state to find out what needs to be done. I am only a few street away from NetworkOmni. But my hands are tied up too. I was hoping that this can be done professionally and patiently. I guess not.
Omni the Loser	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1268 May 19, 2008 Anyone from Canada? We need to talk if you are. Omni does not pay me, not reply my email at all while still call me once in a while asking if I can take calls. So ridiculous!! Omni owes me only a little monty but I don't want to swallow the fact that Omni treats independent contractors/interpreters like shit. If they continue to treat me like this in the next two weeks, I am sure I will open fire to them - the revenge begins - the idea is to make Omni out of the business. They have my word.
corona del mar Hacienda Heights, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1269 May 20, 2008 Did anyone get paid for March yet? I was told that March payment badge was suppose to be sent on 19th.

Corina Torrez Glendale, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1274 May 20, 2008 I worked for George Ulmer years back. I know his son and his wife and I do feel simpathy, because it's the family who is left to clean up and deal with whatever he left behind. I worked with him almost 10 years ago when he was once in debt with contractors. I'm proud to say I cleaned up the mess and had EVERYONE paid on time. He was very concerned about making sure everyone was paid and he followed through on his promise. I don't doubt that he fell into debt again, because he wasn't there 100% to ensure it. Hope you don't find yourself with a terminal disease and have to leave your assets in the hands of imcompetant people.
