I have been following that thread real close. I find that it is very disturbing that ECO put that out there. It shows that they are scared for what they did with whole 401k issue. As it stands, it is what it is. ---

I have been following this thread as well as some others with great interest. I notice not very many people have participated in this poll. I would be willing to bet that the majority of nay votes are posted by non oilfield pro union agitators. ---

I still don’t think this should be a union vs non - unions, but a slap in the face by being forced to walk the company line. Not everyone has the resources to make a stand. I can only hope those that can will make a difference. Either for or against it should be the mariners choice without repercussions.
