Longshoreman’s Union Says It Has 1,000 Openings

The Pacific Maritime Assn. will distribute applications today at 9 a.m. at unemployment offices in Compton, Long Beach and Torrance for 1,000 part-time longshoreman jobs, according to a longshoreman’s union bulletin.

The jobs, which are so coveted that openings usually occur only every five to 10 years, involve loading and unloading ships and barges in the Los Angeles harbors. Applications are being taken for one day only, according to the bulletin of the International Longshoreman’s and Warehouseman’s Union Local 13 in Wilmington.

The employment offices are located at 1313 Pine Ave., Long Beach; 1220 Engracia Ave., Torrance; and 1940 N. Bullis Rd., Compton.
