Question

Several fishermen contracted with a company to sail from Cabo San Lucas to Costa Rica and back during the fishing season and to perform regular ship duty, including discharging and loading and any other work requested by the captain. They were to be paid $500/week. A few days after they set out, they became disgusted with the heat, humidity, bugs, etc. and demanded an extra $100/week or they would not return once they docked in Costa Rica. At that point it was impossible to replace them, so the company yielded to their demands. After returning to Cabo San Lucas they made their way home to southern California. When their pay was deposited, they found it was $500/week, not $600/week. True-False: If they sue for the additional pay promised by the company, they should win.
