John D. Chandris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (220 words) |

| By World War I Chandris' fleet was made up of four ships, including steamships. |
| Chandris ran the cruise lines until he retired in 1939. |
| Harbor Tug & Barge Co. v. John Papai (1997) (4391 words) |
| 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. |
