OPINION OF THE COURT
JORDAN, Circuit Judge.
Today we stop swimming against the tide of opinion on an important question of maritime law. Following the lead of several of .our sister circuits, we now hold that a union contract freely entered by a seafarer—a contract that includes rates of maintenance, cure, and unearned wages— will not be reviewed, piecemeal by courts unless there is evidence of unfairness in the collective bargaining process. In so holding, we overrule our decision in Barnes v. Andover Co., L.P., 900 F.2d 630 (3d Cir. 1990).
