We're pleased to announce that we have successfully defended, through our Port of Discovery program, our maintenance jurisdiction in the Master Contract. We have used "technology" for the benefit of our membership.
Arbitrator John E. Sands issued his Consent Award on April 16, 2008 and upheld our rights as have been contractually agreed to under Article IX of the Master Contract for over 20 years. The details/transcript of this award are available by clicking here, or by clicking "Procedural Booklet" and then the damage award link.
The importance of this award is that it not only protects our jurisdiction, and jobs, but has resulted in increased membership, as well as increased jobs, for our maintenance Locals' in the Port of New York & New Jersey.
Congratulations to all for the persistence they demonstrated in this effort.

We have overhauled this site in an effort to provide our I.L.A. membership and our associates in the Maritime Industry with a tool that is helpful, informative and easy to use.
Be sure to participate in our discussion forums, where you can post comments and suggestions about matters affecting our industry. One of these forums is restricted to I.L.A. members exclusively. These forums will facilitate the free exchange of information and opinion. To enter the forums, please contact us and ask for a free username and password.
We are adding directories of all our Locals as well as a reference area which includes the full searchable text of the Master Contract. And you can use the Search feature to locate anything on the site.
Finally, you can use the Contact Us feature to get in touch with us with your thoughts and ideas. We read every note and will reply to you individually.
Enjoy the new site and check back often to see our updates. |
