Engine room crew sick-out nearly halts Puget Sound ferries
Original: Engine room workers called out sick Monday, causing a near shutdown of ferries serving Washington's Puget Sound region.
Engine room workers at Washington State Ferries called out sick on Monday, forcing a near shutdown of ferry service across Puget Sound and snarling commutes between communities that rely on the boats. The mass absence, reported by KUOW, is being read as a coordinated sick-out and has raised questions about working conditions and staffing among the ferry system's crew.
Why now: A sudden coordinated sick-out disrupted a major regional transit lifeline, stranding commuters and putting labor issues in the spotlight.
