Amusement & Recreation Attendant – Rides

Work description

Our family has been in the Carnival Business all our lives, providing rides on a seasonal basis. We established and operated in the carnival business since 2018 under So Cal Rides, LLC. For future endeavors we were advised by our attorneys and accountants that we reincorporated and rebrand our show as SCR Amusements, Inc. SCR Amusements, Inc, was incorporated in 2026 and is considered the successor company to So Cal Rides, LLC. As we are moving forward with prior years filings and need of temporary seasonal workers, we are referring to the legacy company SCR Amusements Inc. Our company was registered at 5904 Warner Ave. Ste. A #232 in Huntington Beach, CA and our winter quarters location remains at 15011 Genoa Cr. In Huntington Beach, CA. Congress has recognized the inherent seasonality of the mobile entertainment business as detailed in the Fair Labor Standards Act section 13(a)(3). The U.S. DOL has also noted the unique nature of the mobile entertainment business, and this application is being filed under the long-standing special procedures that the Department established and incorporated into the current regulatory framework for these mobile, multi-generational, seasonal, small family businesses. We have a seasonal need for these workers, recurring on a predictable annual basis. We are open for a specific season each year, a traveling business, the work is evenings and weekends, and therefore it is very difficult to find workers willing to leave their homes and families to travel to each of our venues. We have needed temporary seasonal workers to augment our U.S. Workforce and to sustain our business. For the past several seasons, this need has been recurrent annually from early-January to late-October. We completely end our mobile operations from late October to early January and do not have any permanent workers in this job category. The number of workers required to operate our show is obviously dictated by the rides that we operate at our various locations, the hours of operation, and the number of workers that are required to safely (for the workers themselves, their fellow workers and for the public) maintain and operate those rides. These are the factors that I take into consideration as I calculate my need for workers so that I can accurately complete this application process, remain compliant with and strive to protect the integrity of this vital H-2B non-immigrant foreign worker program. The temporary need is seasonal, predictable and recurrent annually. For the current fiscal year, we calculated and filed for 25 Amusement and Recreation Attendants for the period of January 1, 2027, to October 31, 2027. FY26, we filed with your department and were certified for 25 Amusement and Recreation Attendants- Carnival for the period January 1, 2026, to October 31, 2026, certificate H-400-25307-364248. FY25, we filed with your department and were certified for 25 Amusement and Recreation Attendants- Carnival for the period January 1, 2025, to October 31, 2025, certificate H-400-24277-383076. FY24, we filed with your department and were certified for 25 Amusement and Recreation Attendants- Carnival for the period January 1, 2024, to October 31, 2024, certificate H-400-23276-406583. This clearly demonstrates that our recurrent, annual, seasonal need has been recognized on a historical basis by your department. We engage in extensive recruiting in hopes of fulfilling our seasonal needs. This recruiting process includes social media, recruitment through industry contacts and relevant media, complying with established Department of Labor ETA Job Search Protocol, as well as help wanted signs at all our venues. We have a chronic need for employees that is not filled by US workers ready, willing and able to travel with our mobile entertainment operation. CALIFORNIA: Our company does not utilize a third-party foreign labor recruiter to contract any of our H-2B workers. CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT
