Topic: Chandris Group


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  John D. Chandris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Harbor Tug & Barge Co. v. John Papai (1997)
In Chandris, the words "particular employer" give emphasis to the point that the inquiry into the nature of the employee's duties for seaman status purposes may concentrate on a narrower, not broader, period than the employee's entire course of employment with his current employer.
Chandris' status based test requires a maritime worker to have a relationship that is substantial in duration and nature with a vessel, or an identifiable group of vessels, in navigation.
Chandris teaches us, however, that the specific activity being performed at the time of the injury is not sufficient to establish the employee's status under the Jones Act.

 Harbor Tug & Barge Co. v. Papai Et Ux., 520 U.S. 548 (1997).
He recognized that Chandris held out the possibility of being a seaman without a substantial connection to a particular vessel in navigation, provided one nevertheless had the required connection to " `an identifiable group of such vessels.' " 67 F. 3d, at 209 (quoting 515 U. S., at 368).
There is no evidence in the record that the contract Harbor Tug had with the IBU about employing deckhands (IBU Deckhands Agreement) was negotiated by a multiemployer bargaining group, and, even if it had been, that would not affect the result here.
Papai contends his various employers through the hiring hall would have been able to predict his status as a seaman under the Jones Act based on the seagoing nature of some of the duties he could have been hired to perform consistent with his classification as a "qualified deckhand" under the IBU Deckhands Agreement.

 Chandris, Inc. v. Latsis. (1995)
Latsis, on the other hand, was one of two supervising engineers based at Chandris' Miami office; his duties ran to the entire fleet and included not only overseeing the vessels' engineering departments, which required him to take a number of voyages, but also planning and directing ship maintenance from the shore.
Latsis did not object to the seaman status jury instructions in their entirety, but only contested that portion of the charge which explicitly took from the jury's consideration the period of time that the Galileo was in drydock.
On the one hand, the work on the Chandris vessel took only about six months, which seems to be a relatively short period of time for important repairs on oceangoing vessels.

 SOL Page
Adoption of such a regime would produce inequitable, unpredictable, and arbitrary results as it would cause workers regularly exposed to the perils of navigation to move in and out of seaman status depending on the fortuitous circumstance of whether the watercraft was in motion at the time of injury.
Nothing in the requirement that the vessel be "in navigation" (Chandris, 515 U.S. at 373) supports the court of appeals' focus on a watercraft's "primary" function or its engraftment of an "in transit" requirement for "vessel" (and thus "seaman") status.
A watercraft that serves a transportation function is a vessel, and once she is placed in service, she remains in navigation until such time as the vessel is removed from service for a significant period of time.

 West's Legal News: In the U.S. Supreme Court: For the fourth...: 1-10-97 WLN 14253
The majority said that where a group of employers obtain its labor pool through daily assignments from a union hiring hall, the employers in the group should be treated as a common employer for Jones Act purposes.
Additionally, after Chandris, the seaman must have a connection to a vessel or group of vessels that is substantial in both duration and nature.
As to duration, the Court in Chandris adopted the 5th Circuit's rule of thumb that a worker must spend 30% of his or her time on a vessel or fleet of vessels in navigation.

But in 1964, the CHANDRIS GROUP from Greece, bought her and she sailed for Greece, a major conversion, an re-named “AUSTRALIS” “Australian Maiden”; and as such, she spent many years as an IMMIGRANT SHIP to Australia, and cruise passengers on her return.
In November 1978, “AUSTRALIS” closed out her Chandris service to Australia and was laid up in New Zealand for a time until an American Company, VENTURE CRUISE LINES purchased her for five million dollars for short cruises out of New York.

She passed to P&O ownership on 19th April 1973 but the peculiarities of her route did not mesh easily with other group activities (to say nothing of officers from P&O passenger ships not feeling quite at home on her) and she reverted to BI ownership on 30th May 1975.
She was transferred within the Chandris Group in 1966 to International Cruises S.A. and re-registered under the Greek flag with the intention of conversion into a cruise ship.

 SEAMAN Defined Further
At issue in the case was the meaning of the requirement that a worker have a substantial connection to a vessel or "an identifiable group of vessels" in navigation to be considered a Jones Act seaman..
Relying on the Supreme Court's language in Chandris, that a seaman has a substantial connection to a "group of vessels", the Ninth Circuit held that Papai was a seaman.
Writing for the majority, Justice Kennedy reaffirmed the doctrinal development set forth in Willander and Chandris, and held that Papai's employment did not satisfy the requirement that a worker's connection to a vessel or fleet be substantial.
