The long term goal is for every operating unit including the grassroots upstream oil & gas projects to be operated by 3rd party contract companies who pay far less in health care benefits, pensions, and salaries.

@ax they don’t care. Look at all the work being shifted to low cost locations. Not just by Exxon but the other companies we work with. The whole industry has decided that quality work no longer matters. They are hoping that the poor quality from low cost centers is adequate.
The problem with using 3rd party workers is the quality of work is inferior to company employees so the will be risking lawsuits from people getting hurt or ki-led from using incompetent contractors.
