Hi everybody,
Been in the industry a couple of years and was told about this site a few days ago. I hope I’m not about to repeat a subject already covered. If I do, please let me know.
As I said, I’ve only been in the industry a couple of years. From what I have been told I got in at the right time. But I am seeing something that worries me a lot. A high intake of trainees from countries whose workers are willing to take a lot less pay. I’m trying to be politicl correct here. We saw this in our maritime industry in the North Sea a few years ago, now most vessel crew are from ex-eastern block countries and are being paid considerably less than the previous generation of seamen. The old, and not so old, seaman are sitting on the beach collecting unemployment benefits. Is this happening now in the ROV industry? And can it/should it be stopped?
Definitely Worried.
