National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS) members have whittled and peeled away every penny from Labor they can during COVID apparently to ensure that their Executive Director, Eric Miller’s nearly $120,000 a year salary remains in place. And as most NAMFS members continue to rake in the millions of dollars in federal contracts, Labor has continued to be exposed to and contracted COVID. In fact, there is not a single NAMFS member whom has assisted with COVID protection nor, after Labor has caught the disease, even offered a penny to help them.
The United States reported more than 205,000 coronavirus cases on Thursday, the most in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic, according to NBC News. The new record follows another grim milestone — more than 100,000 people were hospitalized with the virus on Wednesday as morgues and hospitals across the country risk being overwhelmed.
Death rates are well above a quarter of a million and expected to double by spring. NAMFS member’s response? Deafening silence. True to form, under the leadership of Eric Miller, NAMFS has become the poster child of greed while raking in the cash as Labor continues to exit the Mortgage Field Services Industry.
Over the past several months, Foreclosurepedia has been in multiple talks with Labor with respect to the conditions NAMFS members are forcing them to work in. The deleterious effects of the unsafe work environments NAMFS members have fostered are only seen better than their refusal to assist Labor when they become infected.
We were sick as a dog, Paul. The VM knew we both were sick because I kept having to gasp for breath in between coughs arguing with her about a handwritten note about COVID on a house we were inspecting. She demanded we make contact or get charged back. — Contractor on recent call with Foreclosurepedia
The reality is that these very same men and women that NAMFS members consider no more important than a revenue stream may very well chose not to perform services when the volumes open up in Q1 FY2021. Make no mistake that President elect Biden is going to pump new PPP funds into the system and unemployment for 1099 personnel will, once again, become widely available. Who wouldn’t chose to sit out an even higher rate of COVID exposure coupled with historically high chargebacks?
See, the argument was always that the volumes will make up for the pay decrease. And now that the volumes are lower, the argument appears to be take yet more pay decreases because you are lucky to have any work.
