Shannon Spencer (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed a lawsuit against Gosiger (“Defendant,” and collectively with Plaintiff, the “Parties”) on behalf of herself and a class of similarly situated applicants. The lawsuit, Spencer v. Gosiger Machine Tools, LLC, et al., Case No. 25-2-38795-0 KNT (the “Lawsuit”) is currently pending in King County Superior Court, before Judge Jessica M. Manca. Plaintiff claimed in the lawsuit that Defendant’s job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered. Defendant disputes Plaintiff’s claims and contends it has not violated any law and Plaintiff’s claims are without merit.
The Parties to the Lawsuit have reached a proposed Class Action Settlement. The Proposed Class Action Settlement includes a Settlement Fund of $241,500.00. On August 17, 2026, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and authorizing the Settlement Administrator, Simpluris, Inc. (“Settlement Administrator”), to issue the Notice.
You received the Notice because Defendant’s records indicate you are eligible to participate in the Class Action Settlement as a member of the Settlement Class. “Settlement Class Members” include “All individuals who, from January 1, 2023, through the date of preliminary approval, applied for a job opening in the State of Washington with the Defendant, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range for the position, and/or a general description of benefits and other compensation to be offered to a hired applicant.”
The Court still has to decide whether to approve the settlement. No settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the settlement, and it becomes final.
Please read the Notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act or do not act. For complete details, please see the Settlement Agreement, the terms of which control, in the documents tab on this site.
