Please follow the steps below to register for work with the ILWU Local 400 Marine Section.
- Gather all marine-related documents from Transport Canada or your nautical school. If you are unsure what to register for, click the jobs link, go to certification requirements and find the relevant section. Please don’t try registering until you have all your documents/certifications together; partial applications will not be accepted or processed.
- Call the office to make an appointment with Officer Ziggy Mangat. If you live within British Columbia’s southwest region (Google map) or on Vancouver Island south of Courtenay, registrations are done in person (no exceptions). Alternate arrangements may be made based on officer availability for anyone outside the specified regions. In-person registrations are given priority and completed at the time of registration. All online registrations will be completed as the Officer’s schedule allows.
- Please bring photocopies of all your documents; you do not have to worry about the originals.
- Call the office one hour before your appointment time to ensure the office is open.
- Upon arrival in the parking lot, call the office, and someone will let you into the building.
- Your information will not be kept on file for longer than 6 months, so you must register for work twice a year. You should call in and connect with the Officer every two months to ensure that your file stays active, if you do not wish to re-register.
- If the Officer cannot reach you, your name may be removed from the dispatch list. (Be sure to provide a correct phone number and to keep it updated with the Union).
- If you are looking for employment with HaiSea Marine and are a member of the following Indigenous nations (Haisla, Gitxaala or Gitga’at), please mention this in your registration application/email. If you are indigenous but not part of the above nations, please feel free to either mention your indigenous status or not. If you are not indigenous, please follow instructions from 1-4.
