LABOR DAY BREAKFAST/PARADE

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2016

 

The ILWU Southern California Pensioners are proud to announce they will be serving breakfast again prior to the start of this year’s Labor Day Parade on Monday, September 5, 2016.  Please join us at the ILWU Memorial Hall located at 231 E. C. St, Wilmington at 8:00 a.m. for a delicious breakfast.  In keeping with last year’s tradition, breakfast burritos, doughnuts, cookies, coffee, and drinks will be served. We will also have a shuttle transporting guests from the parade starting point to the Memorial Hall and back from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.  The ILWU So. Cal. Pensioners look forward to providing this service to our Brothers  & Sisters every year and ask you to bring your families to the Memorial Hall to fuel up before the Labor Day Parade.


 

LABOR DAY PAID HOLIDAY

Labor Day Monday, September 5, 2016 is a paid holiday.  Only registered members who have 800 qualifying hours in the prior payroll year (2015) and meet the availability requirements for at least two of the five days Monday through Friday (exclusive of the holiday) will receive a paid holiday for Labor Day.  This means you must work or meet the availability requirements for at least two of these days, Tuesday, September 6th; Wednesday, September 7th; Thursday; September 8 and Friday, September 9, 2016.

LABOR DAY IS ONE OF THE HOLIDAYS THAT EVERYONE HAS TO MEET THE TWO DAY AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS.

 

Persons taking vacation during the holiday week must report the vacation to the Records Clerk in the Dispatch hall on or before September 6, 2016 or you will not receive the holiday pay.  Persons not receiving holiday pay because of illness, injury, jury duty, etc. must file a claim with the Records Clerk on or before October 21, 2016.

 

The Labor Day holiday pay will be paid on September 16, 2016.  

Some paid holiday notes:

  • Two shifts in one day only counts as one working day.  Example:  Work Tuesday, double-up Tuesday night; this is one day of the requirement.  You have worked two shifts in one day.  

  • Vacation must be taken Monday through Friday

  • To be made available, this means you cannot pass a job in your skill category or a clerk job


 

TWIC RENEWALS

Dear Brothers & Sisters, Please be advised that TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Card) renewals will be coming up soon.  The three (3) year extensions will be ending the last quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2017.  Please be advised, in order to avoid delays in the renewal process, the US Coast Guard (USCG) is recommending you start the renewal process for TWIC at least 90 days prior to your expiration date.  There will be a big influx between October 2016 and March 2017 resulting in a longer renewal process.

If any member is experiencing any difficulty attaining or renewing their TWIC, please contact Vice President Mondo Porras at (310) 830-1130 x116 to report any issues.  You will need to provide your complete name, date of birth and reason for the Local to assist you in the process.  

 

Fraternally,

Bobby Olvera, Jr. Mondo Porras Victor Hudak

President Vice President         Secretary/Treasurer
