Pacific Maritime Association and SSA Marine
In May 2024, SGB filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of current and formerly employed longshore workers against Pacific Maritime Association and SSA Terminals and SSA Conventional, alleging violations of paid sick leave laws. The lawsuit was removed from King County Superior Court and is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle.
On June 24, 2026, the Court certified the case as a class action on behalf of all hourly-paid employees who are covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement between ILWU and PMA and have worked on a PMA Member jobsite located in the State of Washington at any time since May 29, 202. The Court also certified a defendant class of employers, represented by Defendant PMA and the SSA Defendants. A trial date has not yet been set.
