Yes, proceed with so much caution and temerity that you end up with no jobs. Just the same as the Merchant service
Would this be the British Merchant service that lost its will to live during the 60s and 70s at the very height of the Unions stranglehold over manufacturing, coal mining, shipbuilding, steel production and transportation. I wonder why the merchant marine ended up exporting their jobs to the Philippines?
If you are a supplier, in this case of labour/skill, like in any transaction between a buyer and the seller, if you quote a higher price than the competion , you lose the business.
