Québec blames immigrants for rent hikes, and in The Netherlands, they get blamed for the sheer lack of housing. Both are factually wrong. 🍁✌️

‘Goede honorering voor vertalers is bittere noodzaak!’ – Boekvertalers staan onder druk
Reactie Auteursbond op onderzoek KVK Boekwerk Zorg voor eerlijke contracten, betere honoraria en bescherm vertalers tegen de gevolgen van AI. Alleen zo blijft het vertaalvak aantrekkelijk voor nieuwe generaties en kan worden voorkomen dat ervaren vertalers afhaken, zegt de Auteursbond, de belangenvereniging voor schrijvers en vertalers met 2000 leden. De Auteursbond reageert op nieuw onderzoek van KVB Boekwerk waaruit blijkt dat 80 procent van de boekvertalers in Nederland het minimumloon of minder verdient bij een volledige werkweek.
