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.
