Members of MM&P and the Inland Boatmen’s Union (IBU) have crewed the ferries for Blue & Gold Fleet, the largest ferry operator in the Bay area, since Alcatraz was opened to the public in 1973. Blue & Gold has turned to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to protest the Park Service’s failure to IBU Regional Director Marina Secchitano rallies the apply the Service Contract Act and the resulting award of the crowd.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and AFL-CIO President Appears Headed for Arbitration John Sweeney both issued statements in support of MM&P After three negotiating sessions with Matson Navigation and the IBU. “No Park Service contractor should be able Company on January 11, 12 and 27 in San Francisco, the to underbid another company by offering lower wages and 2005 MM&P-Matson contract reopener appears headed fewer benefits,” Pelsoi said. “That’s just plain wrong.” for arbitration. Negotiations to determine wage and wage- related increases for January 1, 2006, January 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008 aboard Matson’s standard contract vessels stalled with the company’s insistence that MM&P licensed deck officers accept a wage freeze. The MM&P bargaining committees, negotiating in concert with the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association and the American Radio Association (ARA), expressed disappointment at the company’s unwillingness to share its record profits. “When you consider that the inflation rate is running at 3-4 percent and that Alexander & Baldwin (A&B), the parent corporation of Matson, proclaimed 2005 a ‘benchmark year’ for profits, it is not surprising that MM&P and the company will have to resolve our differences in arbitration,” said MM&P Pacific Ports Vice President MM&P San Francisco Branch Agent Ray Shipway addresses the crowd.

  • Remarks for Chairman Fred Hochberg American Association of Port Authorities Spring Conference Washington, DC – March 25Th, 2014
    Remarks for Chairman Fred Hochberg American Association of Port Authorities Spring Conference Washington, DC – March 25th, 2014 Good afternoon. Thank you, Kurt, for that introduction, and thanks for inviting me to join you here today. I’ve always felt a strong connection to the work you do as Port Authority professionals. And that’s for two reasons: one nostalgic, and one professional. The first reason goes back to 1967, when I was 15 years old. Yes, I’ll do the math for you—I’m 62 today. That year, I had the opportunity to board a freighter headed from Brooklyn to southern Africa. The carrier was a company called Farrell Lines. Today, Farrell Lines still operates a fleet under the Danish Maersk Line, carrying American military cargoes across the Atlantic. On the voyage I took as a teenager, we made our way around the Cape of Good Hope, stopping at a number of ports along the way. I visited Namibia, which at the time was still called German South-West Africa. I visited Angola. I visited the city of Maputo in Mozambique, which was then known as Lourenço Marques. Of course, I had no idea at the time that I’d ever be back in Mozambique, let alone as a government employee. But 45 years later, I was there again—this time to promote U.S. energy and infrastructure investment. As a young man, experiencing a new and mysterious continent was the thrill of a lifetime. And I’ll never forget how it felt to be on that freighter, making our way through bustling harbors, exploring southern Africa port by port.

Could you tell me when and where you were born? WAUCHOPE: I was born at Manhattan Hospital in New York City on October 13, 1941. My parents actually lived out on the south shore of Long Island at the time Q: Okay, tell me a bit about, first of all on your father's side, sort of where the family came from and your father's education and what he was doing. WAUCHOPE: Okay, well, my father's father came to the United States in the early 1880s. He was a young man in County Cavan, Ireland and was sent by his father down to Trinity College Dublin to study for the ministry, the Presbyterian ministry. He and his older brother Jack, who was also studying at Trinity, decided they didn't want to become ministers, so they quite literally ran away to sea. He and his brother first went off to Australia and this trade between the UK, between England and Australia.
