CFS Program Fund The purpose of the Container Freight Station (CFS) Program is to "encourage the establishment, development and growth of efficient and productive container freight stations on the docks to preserve work which has historically been performed by the longshore work force. In order to accomplish the program objective, assessments collected on containerized cargo are used to reimburse PMA member employers operating designated CFS facilities for payments they have made for payroll hour assessments. CFS hours are hours that are paid to certain longshore, clerk and foreman registrants for job assignments in designated CFS facilities. There are two types of reimbursements made for CFS activity: (1) a credit based CFS PROGRAM FUND on CFS hours paid in a facility defined as an "A-Credit," for "Assessment Credit," and (2) a credit based on both CFS hours paid and CFS tonnage defined as an "I-Credit," for "Incentive Credit." The A-Credit is an amount equal to 90% of the hourly benefit assessment rate excluding that portion of the vacation assessment that is collected to cover insurance and taxes. The I-Credits are amounts that equal 11.1% of the sum of A-Credits paid in a PMA administrative area. Therefore, the sum of A Credits and I-Credits equals the total hourly assessments paid less the vacation, insurance, and taxes portion. Payments for A-Credits are made on a regular basis. However, I-Credit payments are made only after the close of the payroll year. Each employer's share of I-Credits is to be the same proportion, that the employer's CFS tons are of the total CFS tons for the area; no employer's I-Credit is allowed to exceed 22.2% of his A-Credits. Dispatch Halls All longshore workers in a port are dispatched through a hall maintained and operated jointly by the ILWU and the PMA under the auspices of a Joint Port Labor Relations Committee. Any longshore worker who is not a member of the Union is permitted to use the dispatching hall only if the worker pays a pro rata share of the dispatching hall expenses, the Labor Relations Committee's expenses and other related expenses. Any non-PMA employer may use the dispatching hall only if that company pays PMA the equivalent of the dues and assessments paid by PMA members for the support of the hall. Workers not on the registered list may not be dispatched from the dispatching The sun rises behind the Hyundai Force as it is helped by tugboats to the dock at Washington United Terminals in the Port of Tacoma.
