The principal business of the Pacific
Maritime Association (PMA) is to negotiate
and administer maritime labor agreements
with the International Longshore and
Warehouse Union (ILWU).
The membership of the PMA consists of
domestic carriers, international carriers
and stevedores that operate in California,
Oregon and Washington.
The labor agreements the PMA negotiates
on behalf of its members cover wages,
employee benefits and conditions of
employment for workers employed at
longshore, marine clerk and walking boss/
foreman jobs.
The Association processes weekly payrolls
for workers and collects assessments on
payroll hours and revenue cargo to fund
employee benefits plans provided for by
the ILWU-PMA labor agreements.
