Tim,
North Sea crabbers know very well what they're in for and whereever you can Google up information, theres the world of info at your fingertips...not to mention the Discovery Channel, Nat'l Geographic, Dirty Jobs etc.
Many ie. most village divers don't have our armchair experience...they only know real life without the "cautions, conditions, warnings, labels" etc. that we live with daily.
Take whatever common sense you think we have and now filter out 90% of the educational material where it came from.
We have so many options for work in this country...we even had a hit song on country charts that said...Take this job and shove it!"
I dare say, thats a tough one to find counterpart for in the Manila Hit Parade.
Now....since real life experience is the main teacher of these guys, they just regarded a huge piece of information and may well let their contracts run out and even protest until it does.
We may even see some go on strike and test the response of the law they are laboring under and afraid of in the foreign countries they are imported to serve in.
You know that here they would sue the company for coercement and providing a dangerous workplace, no insurance etc..
Their biggest fear though is usually not working and getting paid.
Sacrificing themselves for their families is the really tragic part here.
