Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Between 4
				  p.m. and 8 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays (or Fridays, if hiring procedures
				  are implemented which include Saturday as a "regular workday" in accordance
				  with section
				  7.19 of this Part) (except on
				  holidays), longshoremen and checkers may telephone the THEIC to ascertain if
				  they have been ordered for work that evening or at any time during the next
				  workday. Between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Fridays (or Saturdays if hiring
				  procedures are implemented which include Saturday as a "regular workday" in
				  accordance with section
				  7.19 of this Part) (except on
				  holidays), longshoremen and checkers may telephone the THEIC to ascertain if
				  they have been ordered for work that evening or at any time on Saturday (if
				  hiring procedures are not implemented which include Saturday as a "regular
				  workday" in accordance with section
				  7.19 of this Part), Sunday and/or
				  Monday, and/or Tuesday if Monday is a holiday. Any such telephone call shall
				  make the individual caller, who has no orders for the next weekday, regular
				  working day, available for employment at the 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. hiring on the
				  next weekday regular working day. During such call, individuals who do not have
				  orders for the next weekday regular working day shall designate a telephone
				  number where they may be reached between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. during
				  the next weekday regular working day morning, if that telephone number is
				  different from the individual's usual telephone number maintained in the THS
				  data base.
(b) Between 8 a.m. and 9
				  a.m. on the next weekday regular working day morning, those individuals who
				  made themselves available for work on the prior weekday regular working day
				  between 4:00 p.m. and 8 p.m., may be hired by hiring agents, in accordance with
				  seniority (sections 7.29 through
				  7.40 of this Part), except for
				  employment as a supervisory employee, by qualification to fill in for absentees
				  or to fill emergency requirements. Said individuals may be advised of such
				  employment by telecommunications system controllers by telephone provided that
				  said advice is made in registration number sequence by seniority and
				  qualifications and is in accordance with section
				  7.44 of this Part.
(c) Prior to selecting any such longshoreman
				  or checker for employment, each hiring agent shall notify the THEIC of the
				  number of longshoremen and checkers he intends to employ. This number may be
				  revised by the hiring agent at any time prior to the time he commences hiring
				  according to seniority in the industry, as stated in sections 7.29 through
				  7.40 of this Part, inclusive. The
				  hiring agent may employ only such number of longshoremen and checkers he has
				  stated he intends to employ, as revised. In the event additional persons are
				  needed after the hiring agent has commenced hiring according to seniority in
				  the industry, the hiring agent shall notify the THEIC of such additional needs.
				  He may then hire such additional longshoremen and checkers he has declared as
				  needed only after all other hiring agents have had an opportunity to select the
				  number of longshoremen and checkers they have declared as needed before they
				  commenced hiring according to seniority in the industry and only if permitted
				  under the applicable collective bargaining agreement. To fill his employer's
				  requirements, a hiring agent shall make his selection from among such persons
				  who have made themselves available in accordance with this section and in
				  accordance with sections 7.29 through
				  7.40 of this Part inclusive,
				  during the designated hiring period.
(d) No hiring agent shall knowingly hire, or
				  attempt to hire, any person registered by the commission under any
				  circumstances or at any time during the hiring process when such person's
				  seniority classification would not ordinarily entitle him to receive said
				  employment.
