In this arbitration decision, Arbitrator Miller confirmed that it is Marine Clerks' jurisdiction to check and monitor the flow of cargo. In this case, superintentendents in the terminal control center at WBCT were monitoring and checking each ship and yard cargo move on matching computer screens and notifying marine clerks of any errors and corrections to be made. Arbitrator Miller found PAG and WBCT guilty of violating PCCCD Section 1 and Tech Framework and ordered the superintendents' monitors to be turned off immediately.
