PACIFIC MARITIME ASSOCIATION 41 Unused funds for a week are added to the next week and so on. If funds available during a given week are insufficient to pay all the guarantees on the coast in full, the payments to all are reduced proportionally. If funds remain at the end of a quarter, a lump sum make-whole payment is given to those whose PGP payment had been reduced. The foremen's plan guarantees weekly pay equivalent to a 40-hour week at the foreman straight time rate ($79.40 per hour or $3,176.00 per week). ILWU-PMA Marine Clerk Work Opportunity The purpose of the ILWU-PMA Marine Clerk Work Opportunity (CWOG) Program is to ensure a registered marine clerk is provided with a full work opportunity as a marine clerk five out of seven days in any payroll week. If the Employers are unable to provide a work opportunity, a marine clerk checked into the hall becomes eligible Pay Guarantee Plan The Pay Guarantee Plan (PGP) provides a weekly income supplement to industry registrants who meet certain eligibility criteria and are unable to obtain pay equal to a week's work. A Class "A" longshore registrant or clerk who qualifies is guaranteed an income equivalent to a 40-hour week at the individual's vacation rate of pay determined by a formula based on hours worked in the prior payroll year ($56.85 to $62.65 per hour for Class "A" longshore, effective June 28, 2025, or $2,274.00 to $2,506.00 per week). Class "B" registrants with 5 or more vacation qualifying years receive the same guarantee. Those Class "B" registrants with fewer than five vacation qualifying years are guaranteed income equivalent to a 32-hour week ($1,819.20 to $2,004.80 per week). In general, to be eligible, a Class "A" or "B" registrant must, during the most recent four payroll quarters, have worked at least 50% of the average hours available in the home port. Further, the registrant must be available for work Monday through Friday in a given payroll week and may not refuse any work offered for which the registrant is qualified. Class "B" registrants are not eligible for PGP until after one year of registration. The contingent PGP liability for registrants for 2025/2026 is $50,000,000. This amount is divided into quarterly amounts. One-thirteenth of each quarter's amount is available at the end of each payroll week to meet that week's obligation. Includes payments for benefits, taxes, and administrative expenses. Data obtained from Audited Financial Statements.

The CWOG payment is equivalent to 8 straight time and 2 overtime hours at the prevailing marine clerk rate for each day the clerk qualifies, up to 40 straight time and 10 overtime hours in a week. The Program is funded through assessments on containers as described in a membership agreement filed with the Federal Maritime Commission. When a clerk qualifies for payment through the CWOG Program, the fund pays wages, taxes and appropriate hourly benefits assessments. Industry Travel System The Industry Travel System, originally called the Voluntary Travel Fund, was established to provide PMA member employers with an economic incentive to use voluntary travelers. The purpose of the system is to provide a mechanism whereby all ports may have available qualified longshore employees in periods of peak work opportunity and to provide reimbursement for travel expenses to longshore registrants who travel to nearby ports to seek work opportunity. Individual longshore registrants who travel voluntarily or individual longshore registrants and/or gangs who are ordered to travel by an employer within a defined area are paid for travel, when assigned to a job, under the provisions of the Industry Travel System. Clerks registered in the multi- chartered locals receive the same benefit when they travel. Employers are reimbursed for the payments made to individuals and/or gangs ordered to travel for their travel expenses, payroll taxes, payroll hour assessments and an allowance for workmen's compensation insurance and other related expenses.
