Start with hiring slips, guarantee payments and the quay contract. It is the source used to decide whether a gate closure should count as canceled work for a hired crew; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the hiring board at Old Rope Yard.
Known: the current file counts 65 workers paid the minimum turn after a canceled load, compared with 61 in the prior window. Alimited trial begins under the same public measure used in the old file. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: Contractors count only loads withdrawn by a shipper. Workers say a closed gate removes the same shift from their day. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to the contract defines a canceled load but not a late gate closure.
Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.
Next: The Year first, market fall window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The contract committee will publish examples for both kinds of cancellation.
