START TIME ON SECOND SHIFT
Effective Saturday, March 6, 2021, Second Shift, the Joint Port Labor Relations Committee have agreed to resume the 6:00 p.m. start times as outlined in Section 2.41 of the P.C.L.C.D.
Along with the start time change on 2nd shift back to 6:00 p.m. the amended cleaning protocols are hereby agreed to by the parties:
-
Employers shall maintain protocols to clean all equipment and high touchable surface areas prior to the start of every first shift as they have done in the past.
-
The process between shifts has been modified in order to facilitate the time change. It is as follows for the 1st to 2nd shifts and 2nd to 3rd shifts interchanges.
-
Operators in Cranes and CY (Tops and Sides) will wipe down their own equipment. The employers shall provide the necessary cleaning supplies and proper PPE to accomplish this task. A mechanic will be made available to assist in the cleaning of this equipment if requested.
-
Mechanics will continue to clean and disinfect UTR & pick-up trucks between shifts as usual.
-
The joint JPLRC’s have agreed to reviewing these protocols weekly and have also had a discussion and demonstration on the electrostatic sprayers. There are no current EPA approved products at this point but when it comes available the parties will review and notify the membership on training and administering such techniques. Nevertheless, we will still be changing back to 6:00 p.m. commencing Saturday March 6, 2021.
Fraternally,
Ramon Ponce de Leon Jesse Enriquez Mark Williams
