I am being super honest here… If you aren’t a crack shot with a line (out to 15 feet) and HUSTLE don’t bother go there. It’s real deck work. The only thing I can equate it to is working a fleeting tug on a river. Hard work, busting ass, then getting a couple hours rest and doing it again.

Call the Hall? Pay a hundred bucks for a temp card? If you “call the hall” at 333, you will be fortunate if someone answers the phone. Temp Card? No such thing. Sounds like the crooks invented another income stream for themselves if they are selling “temporary cards”.
333 is dead as a union. The crooks who inhabit what’s left of the union hall can’t get a job anywhere else except for maybe minimum wage. They are milking it until the Staten Island Ferry crews are the only members of 333.
Just get the job. If Moran is saying you have to go through 333 they are giving you the brush-off. The 333 delegates don’t enforce any contracts, they go along with whatever company management wants. Presently, 333 members at Reinauer are attempting to decertify 333 and rid themselves of the parasitic ILA union.
Yah. There’s a website out there that will give you a glimpse inside 333… New York harbor workers or something, not going to put a link here. 333 was allegedly more or less split between two other locals in trustee ship I thought or something like that? Just talk to companies direct.
It wasnt split up. They tried splitting up 333 into 2 other locals but that would’ve negated all the existing contracts. And everyone went crazy over that. I think the trusteeship is still trying to do it. The trustee is a fat scumbag! Thats why every company is going to decertify. Your better off going straight to the company.
