AESIR/NPP, you need to read what location Mike is pointing too...

"Location is next to equator, in swampy and animal hostile terrain"

...I work in West Africa for a rather big company. You seriously think you will call a Union of any kind or possibly your employer? Regulations unfortunately work only one way and that is the company's way, especially for an expat. Regulations and Unions may work in other places but not in Africa.

Uninterrupted sleep? You are joking right!?! ...but I do have a room, kitchen, TV, pool, AC and, if we have electricity I can actually even use it.

It is quite simple down here. We are here for the money and that is it! There is a reason why we take home 10 to 12+K a month. If I could get it in Europe or the US, I would most definitely not be in a place like this.

Mike, tell us what country you are talking about and I am sure you will get a pretty clear answer here.
if you have to sleep in tents and or no AC, than the standard is $200+K a year. Hope you do not have to be that desperate.

All the best mate!
