Reporting Businesses That Violate Our State’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” Order

/

The State of Washington has now announced enforcement measures for Governor Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” proclamation that prohibits people from leaving their residence except to conduct or participate in essential activities or to work in essential businesses. (You can find more information about that proclamation and a definition of essential businesses here.) 

If your employer is not following the guidelines given by the state or local public health officials, you can report violations to the state with a simple online form. The report will then be forwarded to the appropriate agency to review and respond. You can report anonymously, or you can give your name and contact information for follow-up. 

EXAMPLES OF THINGS YOU CAN REPORT: 

  • An essential business is not following social distancing requirements  

  • A non-essential business is staying open or requiring you to come in to work 

  • A business is performing a function that is non-essential 

  • You are being evicted 

If you have questions, please contact your Union Rep or email safetyreport@ufcw21.org.
