Its not PR fluff that one of the worlds most prestigious workforces has publicly rejected this kind of work. Money cant buy that quality of publicity, it has come from the hearts and minds of the workforce.

If they had listened, they would pull out immediately. Not sure if you realize that they'll continue working on this for a few more months before they are out...

There is certainly going to be a special atmosphere while the few unlucky engineers finish up the existing contract for legalities sake.
