application.
On or about October 30, 2019, a drawing will be held from a combi-
nation of timely received public applications and “Interest Card”
applications. If the number of timely public applications received
exceeds that of the timely Interest Card applications received, a
preliminary drawing will be held just among the public applica-
tions to collect a number equal to the amount of Interest Card
applications. To be eligible for consideration, public applications must
be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m., PDT, October 22, 2019. A se-

disqualifying convictions, have sufficient knowledge of English to
speak and understand written and verbal safety warnings in En-
glish, and be eligible to work in the U.S. Those selected for pro-
cessing will be advised of additional requirements. Only one ap-
plication per person. Anyone attempting to submit more than one
application (of any type) will be disqualified. Those submitting an
Interest Card application may not submit a public application as
described here. Duplication, sale or trade for value of an Interest
Card or Interest Card code is strictly prohibited. Violation of this
rule will result in disqualification of the applicant as well as disci-
pline 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 recruitment program. Casual longshore workers are not el-
igible to receive benefits provided under the collective bargaining
agreement only to registered workers (for example, health insur-
ance, pensions, holiday pay, vacation pay). There is no guarantee
of casual processing, employment, continued employment, or ad-
vancement; casual work is sporadic and never guaranteed, but
casuals must nonetheless work sufficient available hours to retain
longshore dispatch privileges.

quired by the Department of Homeland Security to enter all marine

ployment in the longshore industry. The procedures by which long-
shore processing 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.
