Jury awards $550K to fired Western State employee who reported expired food
OLYMPIA — A Pierce County jury has awarded nearly $550,000 to a former Western State Hospital employee who claimed he’d been retaliated against after reporting expired and improperly stored meat.
A jury Friday awarded the money to Michael Quayle, who was fired from Western State, Washington’s largest psychiatric facility, in November 2014, according to a news release from Quayle’s attorney.
That year, “Quayle reported expired and improperly stored meat in a location where food was prepared for patients,” according to the news release by attorney James Beck.
The meat included chicken hearts and gizzards. Photos provided by Beck of the meats’ packaging show sell-by dates for 2013.
