CASUAL LONGSHORE WORKERS - PERHAPS NOT EVEN SECOND CLASS CITIZENS

The ILWU is one of the strongest Labor Unions in America. Once you receive you're a book, you have it made. However, being a casual Longshore worker - an Identified Causal - is no picnic. You are treated like a second class citizen. Not respected by the PMA - and you get little consideration by the ILWU.

Most "A men" (and A women) were once casuals. Yet, there is very little empathy by the ILWU members with the identified casuals. In fact, second class citizen is probably not even a good analogy because casuals have very little rights before the PMA and ILWU.

One area where casuals do have the same rights and remedies as ILWU members is wIth work injuries. Casuals have the exact same rights to file and bring a Longshroe and Harbor Workers Compensation Act claim as A book ILWU members.

The Longshore Act is one of the most powerful workers' compensation systems in the United States. To often, casuals are afraid to bring claims because of fear of reprisal from the PMA and/or ILWU. Of course, nothing could be farther from the truth. Because once you file a Longshore Act claim, the federal law protects you from being discriminated against.

If you feel like you have not been chosen to advance to a B book because you previously filed a Longshore At claim, call us - we can help.

Truth is, once you file a Longshore Act claim, you have more protections than other casuals.
