Reply To: Stop all ROV work until Day rates are increased world wide.

I might be wrong here …. seeing as I am only a mushroom…. but this is the way I always thought it worked;

The clients are willingly paying top-dollar for r.o.v. services. It is the ROV Operators who are denying a reasonable remuneration to the crews.

To be more accurate, it would be the Project Manager who would have been one’s buddy-comrade before promotion. Now his rear-end is in a vice because he has to meet budget / bonus…. thus no raise! The company is under pressure to post record earnings to the share-holders. The CEO has his priorities too. What would you do in this situation? No profit, no company, no system. Too expensive, no client. Catch 22! 💡

Striking on a Client’s costly project, to make a statement to one’s Employer, sounds very embarassing 😳 I believe motivation should be made to the Operating companies and not the Clients.

Knowing some of the ‘Company Men’ on some installations, I would expect a few systems to be switched out soon after the excersise, wouldn’t you?

Well, I expect that our budding politburo comrades will shortly enlighten me.

Good luck with the party 😕
