[Dwight Mansburden]

If you want to work for $7.75/hr in a fish cannery at Dutch Harbor, Alaska...6 twelve-hour days per week with time and a half after the first 40 hrs...live in a dorm...free airfare from and to Seattle if you complete a 1500-hr contract from January to May 2012...come home with $13,000. The company wants to hire 300+ people and is hosting a job fair in Albany, Oregon, Nov. 1st. Contact the Oregon Dept.of Employment at 541-967-2171...they'll probably mail you an application...and ask about the Unisea Inc. job opportunities at Dutch Harbor...no later than Nov. 1st, gnomesain?

Good luck, these jobs are hard to get unless you know someone who works in that plant. I've been working for Peter Pan in Dillingham since 2008 during Salmon season (May-August). The best part of working in Alaska is you really don't have to deal with niggers because this kind of work is wayyy too hard for them. The bad part is it's all Union and for paying your union dues you get... uhhhh, ummm... well we had ummm nooo ... actually... yeah you get it, you pay your dues and get jack squat.

Then why is Unisea Inc going through the hassle of holding job fairs if they don't intend to hire 300 to 400 workers?

Here's the article from the local paper:

Because they can. I know full and well from having worked in this industry for almost 5 years how it works. They hold job fairs and make like they're going to hire a bunch of people then you never hear back from them. Call them and the answer is "we're working on it". I'd say 50% or more of the workers in Alaska Seafood Plants are J-1 Visas, College students from foreign countries. The rest are hires from here and there but Unisea and Westward have an over 80% return rate for employees. Think about that for a minute, each plant at the height of the season employs around 400-500 people. So 500 x 80% = 400 returning workers... so they only have about 100 new openings and 50% of those will be J-1 visas which leaves us with 50 openings per plant. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just trying to tell you what I've seen over the past 4 years.
