The Port of Astoria is look-
ing into the lease implica-
tions of recent labor violations
by Pier 2 seafood processor
Da Yang Seafoods after sev-
eral people testifi ed against
the company’s practices at
Tuesday’s Port Commission
meeting.
The company was fi ned
$60,000 last month for meal,
rest period and overtime
violations.
Da Yang was also fi ned
$85,319 in 2015 by the state
Department of Environmen-
tal Quality for discharging
wastewater from Pier 2 into
the Columbia River between
2008 and 2015 without a fed-
eral permit.
Chris Connaway, presi-
dent of the local International
Longshore and Warehouse
Union chapter, said Da Yang,
shipping in temporary workers
to process seafood, violates the
mission of the Port to provide
family wage jobs. He said the
Port should look into whether
Da Yang violated their lease.
“They call them sweat-
shops overseas,” Gary Ziak
from Knappa said. “Every-
body laughs about it. Here
it’s going on in our backyard
and on my property and all
your property. We own this
property, and those people
shouldn’t be allowed to oper-
ate on our ground like that.”
Ziak said that although the
Port can’t do anything about
people’s wages, the agency
could jack up Da Yang’s rent.
“This illegal work prac-
tice, i t’s not just something
you look at and say, ‘Oh, I
guess they got fi ned,’” Com-
missioner Bill Hunsinger said.
“This is wrong. This is in
the Port of Astoria for Christ
sakes. This is a public port that
taxpayers own. Is there going
to be any letters sent? Is there
going to be anything done by
the Port of Astoria?”
Commissioner John Raichl
said the Port should see if it can
look at the results of the state
investigations into Da Yang.
Commissioner Stephen Fulton
said the Port should have staff
review Da Yang’s lease.
“I would not be opposed
to asking Da Yang to come in
front of this commission and
explain what they were doing
down there,” Fulton said.

attorney, Brownhill returned to
Eugene to practice business lit-
igation and international trade
law. Former Cla tsop County
Presiding Judge Guy Boying-
ton, when he found out Brown-
hill was moving away, tear-
fully handed him a $100 bill
and said, “Please take this,”
Paula Brownhill said.
Prior to his 1981 retirement,
Brownhill negotiated business
deals between the U.S., Japan
and other countries.
Besides his regular work,
Brownhill served as president
of the bar associations in Clat-
sop and Lane counties and
the Oregon District Attorneys
Association. His post retire-
ment interests included short
story and screenplay writing as
well as acting.
Brownhill is survived by
— among others — his wife,
Jean, and daughters Ellen and
Paula. His sister, Ann Austin,
died 30 days ahead of him.
The family will hold a private
burial at the Milo Gard Ceme-
tery north of Madras.
