​Has either RCW 42.52.020 or .160 been violated when legislative staff took sick leave in response to the failure of HB 1806 (bill that would have allowed legislative staff to collectively bargain) to pass?

​Yes. It is a conflict of interest with legislative staff official duties and a use of state resources for private gain for staff to have used sick leave in response to the failure of HB 1806 to pass. ​
