In the absence of a formal grievance procedure for interpreters, CFI has decided to establish a process in order to help us memorialize and respond to interpreter complaints to the best of our ability given our classification by the court as independent contractors.
It is especially important to have complaints in writing so that we may detect patterns and ongoing problems. Please fill this form out accurately and completely and we will contact you regarding your complaint. Please mail it to:
| California Federation of Interpreters 12215 Telegraph Rd. Suite 210 Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 |
