Clerk Transfer Applications
If you are interested in clerk transfer, you MUST complete an electronic application. THE JPLRC HAS AGREED THAT ALL FORMER APPLICATIONS ON FILE ARE NOT VALID FOR THE NEXT TRANSFER. In CLRC Meeting No. 10A-2021, February 9, 2021, Item 45, the JPLRC was directed to establish an electronic sign-up list for longshore to marine clerk transfer in Los Angeles/Long Beach
The Committee agreed the electronic sign-up period will begin March 29, 2021 and end April 28, 2021. The electronic application is accessible via the Dockworker Self-Service Portal (selfservice.pmanet.org). [PLEASE SEE SEPARATE SIGN-UP INSTRUCTIONS Click Here] Transfers will occur between May 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022 from the electronic sign-up list.
Late applications will not be accepted. The Committee agreed individuals who miss the application deadline because of verified disability and/or active military duty during the entire application period shall be allowed to apply within 30 days of their return to work. These individuals will be inserted to the application list based on their seniority. Individuals who do not notify the Committee within 30 days upon their return to work shall not be eligible.
In accordance with Supplement I-A and Supplement II of the Pacific Coast Longshore and Clerk Agreements and Section 5 of the Coastwise Rules, the following criteria must be met in order for longshore workers to qualify for transfer to clerk registration:
-
Transfer applicants must have five years of full Class “A” longshore registration as of March 29, 2021. Transfer applicants that are Herman-Flynn Mechanics must have satisfied their 12-year steady obligations or, if no longer under steady employment, must have satisfied their 15-year obligation as of March 29, 2021.
-
Transfer applicants must have worked the required hours to have qualified for a two (2)-week basic vacation in each of the previous two (2) years. This requirement may be waived for up to a maximum of one (1) year for individuals off work due to industrial illness or injury. See Supplement 1-A, Section 9.11 for waiver procedures. Waiver documentation will be submitted, electronically, to the ILWU Local 13 Business Office, if necessary. Following March 29, 2021, the Union will request Section 9.11 documentation when required.
-
Transfer applicants must pass the ARRO Cognitive Test.
-
Transfer applicants must pass a CRT Keyboard Skill Test, which includes a typing test for speed and accuracy.
The Committee agreed PMA will schedule any applicant who has not previously passed 1) ARRO Cognitive Test or 2) CRT Keyboard Skill Test for the requisite test.
Applicants that successfully meet the above requirements shall be placed in a pool of applicants for selection. Selection shall be from applicants by seniority for 50% of the total number of transfers, and the Employers shall select the remaining 50%.
