Ellen's Job at MFP

 

This summer Ellen Alstrom worked at the Maserculiq fish processing plant. She and Eski Cooper worked together. She worked as a bookkeeper and had to figure out the total hours of all the workers and do the payrolls for them too. She also did other paper work, including the fishermen's bills. When an opening was over she would help the fishermen find out the total amount of money they would be getting. She also would give them advances if they needed them.

Ellen worked under Lloyd Stastanski who operated the fish plant during the summer. The plant sold its fish to Whitney Sea Foods in Anchorage. At times she would work an average of 8 to 9 hours a day but sometimes she would work longer or shorter. The longest she worked was 12 hours, and the shortest she worked was only four hours. She worked a month during that fishing season, from June 15 to July 15. Every day she had to be at work by 9:00 A.M. All that month she was very busy taking care of the bills and paper work, and at the end of the season she cleared all the accounts. And that's what she did during her job.
