The Washington Federation of State Employees has retained a third-party administrator for the $1 million settlement of its class action lawsuit on behalf of 360 DD Case Resource Managers over pay inequities.
The qualified trust from which the settlement monies will be disbursed has been established. The state should be wiring the settlement funds into the trust any day.
The union is working on a disbursement formula to recommend to the class representatives that will be both fast and fair. That formula would determine individual amounts that each of the 360 DD Resource Manager recipients would receive. That recommendation will be made within a couple of weeks.
Once the formula is set, the union will then need to get the data from the state upon which to make disbursements. This will likely take several months.
Payments should come by the end of the year.
