hall or employed by any employer while
there are individuals on the registered
list who are qualified, ready and willing
to do the work.
The personnel for each dispatching hall,
with the exception of the Dispatchers,
are appointed by the Joint Port Labor
Relations Committee of each port.
Dispatchers are selected by the
Union through elections in which all
candidates must be qualified according
to standards prescribed and measured
by the Joint Port Labor Relations
Committee. All dispatch hall personnel
are governed by rules and regulations
set down by the Joint Port Labor
Relations Committee. PMA may, at its
option, maintain a representative in the
dispatching hall, and any authorized
representative of PMA or the Union may
inspect dispatching hall records.
The dispatching of clerks is similar to
that of longshore workers except that
there are four central dispatching halls,
one in each respective port area with
such branch halls as may be mutually
agreed. Walking bosses' and foremen's
dispatching procedures are contained in
local supplemental agreements.
