Lawsuit filed against NGOs over data center industry interference

Impresa Legal Group has filed a proposed class action lawsuit in the Western District of Washington on behalf of Monte Pringle and other workers. The lawsuit alleges that a campaign led by several non-governmental organizations has caused significant loss of work opportunities within the data center industry.

Monte Pringle, a licensed electrician and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 191, is the lead class representative. The filing claims that the defendants' actions have resulted in the loss of multiple long-term contracts over the past two years. The legal claims include tortious interference with contractual relationships and civil conspiracy.

The named defendants in the suit include Evan Sutton, Hannah Krieg, Hannah Saunders, Southend Indivisible Inc., Seattle Indivisible, the Proteus Fund, and the Open Society Foundation.
