[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1600822, member: 18945"] OCAW or other labor unions never really made into the drilling end of O&G after the Great Depression..the IADC (International Association of Drilling Contractors) in East, South, and West Texas kept them out as well as in Louisiana. . Before I went to work for them, a union organizer from a union called OFWU trying to convince roughnecks to join the union got shot dead at the end of the board road of one of the same rigs I later worked on. I've heard the story 1/2 dozen times from people that were there. You union lackeys can read it here..or at least the appeal part of it. https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/1777536/babineaux-v-pernie-bailey-drilling-co/ Courts found for the defendants..the drilling company. Appeal court held that decision up and declined to award the union organizer's family anything except to order them to pay court costs. That, was pretty much the end of labor trying to organize the drilling business in La and East Texas. (PBDC began in 1947 and was headquartered in Houston..I went to their office every other Friday and picked up the payroll for the Texas division...I worked for them from late 70s thru 1985) [/QUOTE]
