AWB Opposes Decision
Ockletrec v. FHS
179 Wn.2d 769 (2014)
In Ockletrec v. FHS, the Court held a sectarian hospital can be subject to CH. 49.60 RCW
as to its non-religious operations.
AWB disagrees with this decision.
Kumar v. Gate Gourmet
180 Wn.2d 481 (2014)
In Kumar, the court found that a failure to accommodate religion states a claim under
CH. 49.60 RCW usage.
AWB disagrees with this decision.
