The National Captioning Institute has fired all of its captioning editors that worked at the Burbank, California NCI office. Full details are on Variety.com. Given that NCI was demanding wage freezes and wage concessions according to this article, it is a strong indicator of the competitive pressures affecting the captioning industry. Will competition force captioning editor salaries down to the point that the only people willing to do the job are undocumented immigrants that happen to have a strong command of the English language?
