Don't just trust your paystub.
DockBook is the shift tracking and pay app for US longshore workers on every coast: ILWU-PMA on the Pacific (LA and Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma, Portland), and now the ILA on the Atlantic, Gulf and Great Lakes. It calculates what you're actually owed on every shift, then flags the weeks your check comes up short.
NEW: ILA, EAST AND GULF COASTS
- 155 US locals from Maine to Texas, plus the Great Lakes and Puerto Rico
- Each shift priced by your port's own rules: start times, overtime windows, meal hours, holidays, differentials and penalties
- Your agreement in plain language, with the clauses cited
- MILA Health, Container Royalty and Money Purchase trackers on the October contract year
- Your port's own screens: NYSA GAI, weekly guarantees, pensions, vacation and holiday funds, welfare, setbacks and cancellations
- Where your agreement is not public, enter your rate and your port's rules still apply
NEW: IN PORT
- Ships docked at your terminals now, and when they leave
- A berth timeline drawn against your own shift starts
- Docked ships lead the Ship Name list when you log a shift
