Box 151 San Pedro, California 90733 Attention: Bernard J. Caughlin General Manager Gentlemen: We have your letter of March 27th wherein you outline a schedule of escalated rates for rental on compartments 3 and 4 in Building 12. This schedule of rates is the same as one submitted to the writer approximately a month ago by one of your assistants in the real estate department, and at that time the writer mentioned that we appreciate your having adopted an escalated scale of rental, ultimately arriving at the 6$ rate, which generally is acceptable to us, however, we wish to again reiterate that we feel that we should enjoy the 3$ rate per square foot as long as it is in effect to other tenants in Building 12, who will enjoy this rate throughout 1972. If you insist that we pay 4%$ a foot in 1971 and 5%( in 1972 we feel we are being imposed upon. We should enjoy the lowest rate in effect in Building 12, and when that rate expires we will adjust to your schedule escalating us to the 6( rate for the last two years. To boil the situation down, what we want is this: the first three years at 3$, the last two * years at 6$, and as long as other people are getting this 3$ rate for a three year period, we feel that we should be entitled to the same treatment. We have a note under date of April 2nd signed by Robert D. Hudson, secretary, stating that our application for renewal of least no. 59 has been referred to you for recommendation, and we would like you to recommend that we have a 3$ rate for three years, and the last two years at 6$.

DISCUSSION: At the Board of Harbor Commissioners meeting of April 1, 1970, a salary resolution was adopted to grant a 5^% increase in pay retroactive to January 1, 1970. The cost of this increase is estimated to be $170,000.

Report of Assistant General Manager Parkinson, submitting an analysis of Port Pilot wages and working conditions in the Port of Los Angeles, was approved and submitted by the General Manager. (Report follows, pages 72-81:) 71 April 29, 1970 319 April 21, 1970 Mr. Bernard J. Caughlin General Manager Dear Sir: SUBJECT: PILOT WAGES The San Pedro Bay Pilots Association, through the ILWU, Local #63, has asked that two additional steps of $100 each, approximately 5-1/2%, be added to their present salaries, the first immediately, the second next year. In return, they agreed not to press further for wages comparable to sea-going masters, and to agree that a relief pilot need not be employed unless a watch falls below four men. Because of the time of service of most of our pilots, the effect of this would be an immediate monthly increase of $100 for all but three of our pilots. Attached to this report are the following exhibits: 1. A report on wages and conditions of employment prepared by Mr. Stauch; 2. A comparison of salaries with the Long Beach pilots, since 1952. Since 1967, most of the Long Beach pilots have held stock in the Jacobsen Pilot Service, and as stockholders receive additional income of an undetermined amount; 3. Comparison of pilotage moves per pilot, Los Angeles and Long Beach; 4. An outline of various pilot shift or watch plans. It is our feeling that considering all factors, such as working conditions, leave time off and the comparison with comparable levels of management and the protection of Civil Service, our 72 April 29, 1970 320 Mr. Bernard J. Caughlin -2- April 21, 1970 present wage level is certainly adequate, and insofar as it can be compared, is comparable to other pilots. Very tr JFP:gr Attachments J. F. PRRKINSON Assistant General Manager APPROVED AND SUBMITTED: BERNARD J. CAUGHLIN General Manager 73 April 29, 1970 322 -4- 2. 3. dollars worth of ship and cargo. Pilots supervise no one and are not at any time in command of a vessel being piloted. The Port of Los Angeles Tariff No. 3, Item 205, describes the pilot's role as advisory and not in a command capacity. The master remains at all times in full command of the vessel. The working conditions are entirely different in that a ship master is on duty 24 hours per day at all times while at sea, he is subject to the hazards of the sea and weather, and is separated from his friends and family for extended periods of time. Pilots are not required to be qualified as ship masters. Of the 16 employees engaged in piloting, 12 hold unlimited masters' licenses, one is a tow boat master, one a second mate, and two have only the first class pilot's license. Of the 12 pilots employed by Jacobsen (Long Beach), only four hold unlimited masters' licenses and two of the four have never sailed as masters. The eight remaining pilots are ex-tow boat men. The civil service requirements for Port Pilot permit both unlimited masters' and tow boat men with flat tow experience, to apply in addition to persons who have been pilots in an American port. The only legal requirements to be a pilot are U. S. citizenship and possession of a valid Coast Guard license as a First Class Pilot for San Pedro Bay, and approaches thereto, and its tributaries. Since there is no prevailing rate for pilots and comparisons with other occupations are not valid, it is appropriate and good personnel practice to make internal comparisons with other positions paid at the same level. Port Pilots are paid $1859 at top step and there are four other classes within the department at a salary of $1867 at top step with which it is logical to compare. The Coast Guard makes value judgments on experience necessary to qualify for Port Pilot. However, on the current eligible list is a 29-year-old man who is qualified and has passed the examination. Civil Service requirement for Port Pilot is five years of experience. The working conditions are far better than those at most other ports and are specifically better than those of the Long Beach pilots who work one day and are off two days. They work the same 75 April 29, 1970 323 -5- number of days, but our pilots work more frequently for two weeks so they can have the third week off. Pilots are furnished the best equipment available and have a modern, well-furnished pilot station. Staff believes that the pilots are treated fairly, are compensated commensurate with the knowledges, skills, training and experience required, and recommends no major increase in salary at this time. We would recommend that pilots be placed in Schedule 72, to be started at the third step. This would result in a beginning level of $1673, in place of $1670, after one year $1767, in place of $1753 after six months, and the top level $1867, after one additional year, in place of $1859 after one year. Those presently employed, who might be reduced in compensation because of short service, would not be reduced in salary.

There was no Chief Pilot, the two Seniors dividing supervision. Under the two-watch system, pilots worked every other day for 22 days and then had a threeday break. Pilots then worked every other day for 12 days and had a seven-day break. Within each watch, duty was rotated so that watches were kept at a high enough level to cover work. Within each 24-hour period, each watch rotated as to job assignment and day or night service. While the men were on a 24-hour work day, they were not required to, and did not put in the full 24 hours at the pilot station. Long Beach pilots worked a three-watch system, three men per watch, working one 24-hour day out of each three days, and subject to call back on one of the two off days. Our pilots under the two-watch system, worked 26 days per year more than the Long Beach pilots. Because of this, our wage level was set at $1500, rather than the $1250 level prevailing at Long Beach, January 5, 1966. About March 1, 1966, the pilots asked the Board for permission to try a three-watch system for a 60-day period. This was granted, and after a successful trial was established permanently, Salary was not cut back to the $1250 monthly level, and the watch system was on a weekly basis rather than a daily basis as at Long Beach. 79 April 29, 1970 327 - 0 2 X 3 0 -9- INDIVIDUAL DUTY - UNDER TWO-WATCH (0 = On Duty - X = Off Duty) 4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 XOXOXO X 0 X 13 - 14 - 15 0X0 ;ay - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 24 - 25 - 26 - 27 - 28 - IMty-XOXOXOXXXOXOX - 29 - 30 - 31 - 32 - 33 - 34 - 35 - 36 - 37 - 38 - 39 - 40 - 41 - 42 juty - 0 X 0 X 0 X 0 X X X X X X X Then repeat 42-day cycle INDIVIDUAL DUTY - UNDER LA THREE-WATCH y - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - luty -0X0X0X0X0 X 0 X 0 X X ay - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 puty - X X X X X X Repeat 21-day cycle INDIVIDUAL DUTY - UNDER LB THREE-WATCH - i - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - luty -OXXOXXOXX 0 XX 0 X X 3ay - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 ]3nty - 0 X X O X X Repeat (more) 80 April 29, 1970 -10- WATCH ROTATION - LA - THREE WATCHES - A-B-C ;ay - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 ;ch-ABABABABC B B B ty-CCCCCCCAA A A A A B ay - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 .ch - A y-B B B B B B Men are subject to paid call back on single off days, but not leave week.
