Page 14 December 2, 2015 C LASSIFIEDS /B IDS Metro operates the Oregon Con- ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS Advertise with diversity in LONGSHORE OPPORTUNITY: PORT OF VANCOUVER To be considered for potential processing toward status as an “Uniden- tified Casual” longshore worker in the Port of Vancouver, WA, send via first-class U.S. mail a postcard of 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches (three and one-half by five and one-half inches) to JPLRC – Vancouver, P.O. Box 3016, Vancouver, WA 98668. The card must include the applicant’s full name (first, middle, last), mailing address, and telephone number with area code. Do not mail a resume, include any other information, or put the card in an envelope. Cards that are oversized, embellished with additional information or decorations, untimely, incomplete, il- legible, etc. will be disqualified. No phone calls, no personal delivery. On or about January 8, 2016, a drawing to create a potential process- ing list is intended to be held from a combination of timely received postcards and “Interest Cards” (submitted through longshore indus- try referrals). If the number of timely public cards received exceeds that of Interest Cards received, a preliminary drawing is intended to be held just among the public cards to collect a number equal to the amount of Interest Cards. That subgroup will then be combined with the Interest Cards for the drawing. To be eligible for consideration, application cards must be postmarked no earlier than December 1, 2015 and no later than December 11, 2015, and must be received before the drawing(s). After the drawing, a list of those selected for processing will be posted for 30 days on ILWU.ORG and PMANET. ORG. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, have a valid state driver’s license with photograph, have no disqualifying convictions, have sufficient knowledge of English to speak and understand writ- ten and verbal safety warnings in English, and be eligible to work in the U.S. Those selected for processing will be advised of additional requirements. Only one application per person. Anyone attempting to submit more than one application (of any type) will be disqualified. Those submitting an Interest Card may not submit a public card as described in this ad. Duplication, sale or trade for value of an appli- cation including an Interest Card is strictly prohibited. Violation of this rule will result in disqualification of the applicant as well as dis- cipline and punishment of the seller or trader, up to and including possible deregistration or termination of longshore employment and dispatch privileges. There is no fee or charge for applying. No money should be paid to any person or organization related to this recruit- ment program. Casual longshore workers are not eligible to receive benefits provided under the collective bargaining agreement only to registered workers (for example, health insurance, pensions, holiday pay, vacation pay). There is no guarantee of employment, continued employment, or advancement; casual work is sporadic and never guaranteed, but casuals must nonetheless work sufficient available hours to retain longshore dispatch privileges. A TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) is required by the Department of Homeland Security to enter all marine facilities. Applicants are urged to promptly familiarize themselves with TWIC application requirements: www.tsa.gov and 1-866-347-8371 are re- sources (not PMA, ILWU, the JPLRC). Being ineligible to enter marine facilities because you do not have a TWIC will not be a valid excuse for being unavailable for dispatch, not accepting a job, or not working as directed. Submitting a card does not guarantee processing or employment in the longshore industry. The procedures by which longshore process- ing and employment may be offered can be changed at any time and without notice at the discretion of the joint parties to the governing collective bargaining agreement. Applicants are responsible for keep- ing the Joint Port Labor Relations Committee advised of their current contact information. All contact information updates must be made in writing. Please send all contact information updates to: JPLRC – Local 4 Casual Processing, 101 SW Main Street, Suite 330, Portland, OR 97204. Disputes and claims about any aspect of this casual process are subject to the collective bargaining agreement and its grievance procedures, must be in writing and must be received by the JPLRC (JPLRC – Local 4 Casual Processing Grievance, 101 SW Main Street, Suite 330, Portland, OR 97204) within ten (10) days of the source of the complaint. No extensions. JPLRC decisions on grievances are final and binding. PMA member companies are equal opportunity em- ployers.
